Synopsis
A mesmerizing new masterwork from Cristi Puiu, director of the critically-acclaimed The Death of Mr. Lazarescu, Aurora is a murder mystery turned on its head-where the mystery's not the culprit, but the motive. Inside a non-descript apartment, a man and a woman discuss the inconsistencies in Little Red Riding Hood, their voices hushed, mindful of waking the little girl sleeping in the next room. Behind a line of abandoned trailers, on the outskirts of Bucharest, the same man waits for something or someone to arrive. At a nearby factory, he collects two hand-made firing pins secretly prepared by a coworker. The man's name is Viorel. He is 42 years old, divorced, a father of two, and today he will carry out a plan that will bring order to his world.
