Good intentions go to hell in rural Romania. You'll never trust a dirt road again.
The suspense story follows three humanitarians whose mission in a remote village called Întregalde, in the Apuseni Mountains, in a remote area of Transylvania to offer the inhabitants various goods. Apart from a few quarrels and conflicts between the group members, everything seems to be going well for Maria and Dan. But soon after they stumble upon a disoriented local and try to help him, things go wrong.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of the Romanian New Wave's obsession with systemic dysfunction and bureaucratic cruelty.
The title village doesn't exist—Muntean invented it to suggest 'wholeness' (întreg) that the characters spectacularly fail to achieve.
