Mâine Mă Duc – Tomorrow I Leave

Maria, in her early 40s, commutes. After a few weeks in Romania, where she’s from, she has a long stay in Austria, where as a 24-hour-caregiver she lives with a senior citizen whom she takes care of.

It soon becomes clear that those who fill a gap in one place create a new one elsewhere.
