Christian Mungiu, prvo ime romunskega novega vala, nas postavi pred eti~no dilemo o korupciji in vpra{anju vzgoje otrok v trenutkih, ko je koruptivno dejanje edina mogo~a izbira.
Christian Mungiu, pivotal figure of the Romanian New Wave, confronts us with an ethical dilemma about corruption and the issue of upbringing at a time when compromising your moral integrity is the only available choice.
Romeo Aldea je 49-letni zdravnik iz Transilvanije, ki je svojo h~erko Elizo vedno vzgajal z obljubo, da bo po dopolnjenem osemnajstem letu od{la {tudirat v tujino, kjer bo `ivela bolje kot v Romuniji. Njegov na~rt je blizu uresni~itve, saj Eliza dobi {tipendijo za {tudij psihologije v Veliki Britaniji. Zdaj mora samo {e opraviti maturo, kar pridni dijakinji ne bi smelo povzro~ati te`av. Incident, ki se zgodi dan pred prvim pisnim izpitom, pa nepri~akovano ogrozi njen odhod v tujino. Romeo se znajde pred dilemo: Kako se lotiti problema, pri katerem nobena re{itev ni v skladu z nauki, ki jih je kot star{ uporabljal pri vzgoji svoje h~erke?
Romeo Aldea, a 49-year-old physician living in a small mountain town in Transylvania, has raised his daughter Eliza with the idea that once she turns 18 she will leave to study and live abroad. His plan is close to succeeding – Eliza receives a scholarship to study psychology in the UK. She just has to pass her final exams – a formality for such a good student. On the day prior to her first written exam, an incident jeopardises Eliza's departure. Now Romeo has to make a decision. There are ways of solving the problem, but none of them using the principles he, as a father, has taught his daughter.
"Posplo{eni miselni in vedenjski vzorci postanejo norma – postavljajo eti~ne omejitve, tudi v dru`bah, v katerih se vsi prito`ujejo zaradi korupcije. Seveda, govorimo o korupciji drugih, ne o lastni. /.../ Kaj lahko stori posameznik zoper svet, ki je tako zastavljen in tako deluje? /.../ Zakaj bi moral biti `rtvovan prav moj otrok?" (Cristian Mungiu)
"The patterns of thought and behaviour that are generalised become the norm – they set the ethical boundaries of a society, including those societies in which everybody complains about corruption. Of course, we're talking about other people’s corruption, not our own. /.../ What can one individual do against a whole world that is set up this way and functions like that? /.../ Why should my child be the one to be sacrificed?" (Cristian Mungiu)
