On her one-day parole from prison, Matilda decides to leave the country. Periferic tells the story of this day: organizing the escape, the confrontation with family and past, and dealing with her own role in a society that seems to have no place for her. Bogdan George Apetri’s debut as a director is a surprisingly precise portrait of an outsider, and at the same time an unsentimental study of present-day Romania.
