A love poem (with attitude) to shedding your skin and growing into your true beauty Four very different people are all facing crossroads: Sigrid, a young woman aching to find her voice; Kare, who's trapped himself inside his egotistical persona; Trine, a very pregnant performance artist with a bad attitude who's running out of options; and Agnes, an aging author with a 40-year case of writer's block who wonders about the son she gave up for adoption.

Secrets are like quicksand. They look harmless, yet one false step could be your last. Romania in the year 2000. A young prosecutor. A case of corruption. The guilty party handed to him on a platter. A shoo-in. But the closer he looks, the less certain things appear. Just who is and is not guilty? And of what? And who is pulling whose strings? Based on a true story, director Tudor Giurgiu (Love Sick, Cinequest 2007; Another Christmas, Cinequest 2013) has fashioned a taut political thriller reminiscent of such classics as Italy's Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion.
