How it feels

A NATO convoy gets stuck in a small Romanian village. The locals and military personnel clash and connect over an endless delay. This is a tragicomedy about cultural misunderstandings and stalled progress.

What happens

California Dreamin' (endless) (Romanian: California Dreamin' (nesfârșit)) is a 2007 Romanian film by Cristian Nemescu. It won the Prix un certain regard at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival. It also picked up the Iris Award for Best Film, the Audience Award and the Canvas Award at the Brussels European Film Festival 2007. The film is also sometimes called Endless in English, nesfârșit being Romanian for "endless, unfinished". The director died before editing was completed. MediaPro Studios decided to edit the film with the entirety of the material left by Nemescu, a decision which led to the considerable runtime of 155 minutes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
