::SYNOPSIS:: |
Ovidiu, a young man from Constanta who runs his own business selling snacks and soft drinks out of his parents’ apartment, wants to expand and buy a kiosk, but he doesn’t have the «dough». A local mafioso offers him an impressive amount of money for an apparently simple job: he has to take a bag to Bucharest to a specific address. It seems, however, that the bag contains some «stuff» that concerns other people too. Convinced at first that he has sold only his services, Ovidiu will understand, eventually and when it is far too late, that he has in fact sold his soul...
