Story

Orsolya, a bailiff in Transylvania's Cluj, has to evict a man who has set up an emergency residence in the basement of an abandoned house. They plan to demolish the building in order to build a boutique Continental hotel in its place. But Orsolya's seemingly routine task leads to an unexpected event... and a deep moral crisis.
