Orizont

Marian Crişan : 2015

After many years working abroad Lucian and Andra, husband and wife, take shelter in а remote cottage hidden somewhere in the Apuseni Mountains. All is seemingly well until they realise everything that happens on the mountain, including their life, is controlled by Zoli, an outlaw involved in illegal deforestation. The family and their guest house named Orizont will soon get caught up in the conflict between the lawmen and the illegal logging mafia. Based on Ioan Slavici's classic novella Moara cu noroc, "The lucky mill", the film is a low-key thriller focused on the family topic, the 'peacefulness of the hut', as Slavici puts it, underlining what we do in order to make this so-called peacefulness last, and how we hide the past and the secrets in a family. Marian Crişan's third feature premiered in competition at Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival 2015.
