Cast:Igor Babiac, Sergiu Voloc, Ela Ionescu

The Unsaved, which had its world premiere in the East of the West category of Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, is the debut feature of Igor Cobileanski. Viorel is a nineteen-year-old misfit who lives with his mother and doesn’t have high expectations of life. He earns his pocket money by doing illegal business with his friend Goos and is subjected to his mother’s criticism for not finding a decent job. In time, Viorel begins to take the idea of giving direction to his life seriously. Prominent for its realist, documentary-like approach, this production also harbors deep traces of the Romanian New Wave.
