MOON HOTEL KABUL

by Anca Damian

synopsis

Ivan Semciuc is a charismatic and cynical investigative journalist. He’s got the confidence of a man who knows how to produce heroes and turn stories into fairy tales. His reporting mixes truth with fiction. Something similar occurs in his own life when he meets translator Ioana. After they spend the night together at a hotel in Kabul, Ivan returns to Bucharest. He soon learns the young woman is dead. From that moment, Ioana becomes part of his life, slowly turning it into a nightmare. A seemingly meaningless rendezvous has changed everything. The film asks questions about truth and love, and the price we decide to pay for them.
