Taking its title from the lines of Polish poet Stanisław Jerzy Lec, this is a feminist film that brings together comedy and road films, the digital world, and political critique of society. The film consists of two parts. The Angela in the first part is a flighty production assistant who works 16 hours a day. She drives her car through the streets of Bucharest to shoot a film about occupational safety for a multinational company. The Angela in the second part is a taxi driver in an old film. This unique film presents the two stories in parallel montage explores the world's decadence with sharp humor and was Romania's nominee for the “Best International Feature Film” Oscar.
