    Original Title: California Dreamin’ (nesfârșit)

    Marine Captain Jones is assigned to escort a train carrying NATO equipment headed for Yugoslavia during the war in Kosovo. His mission is thwarted by Doiaru, apparently a very thorough station master in a godforsaken village, who halts the train over a paperwork technicality.

    The community makes ridiculous efforts to welcome the Americans, intending to profit from their unexpected presence and the troops join the game.

    Tired of waiting to get help from higher up, Captain Jones decides to take matters into his own hands. As he gets more and more involved with the locals, he stirs old arguments and reveals the real reason why Doiaru stopped his train…

The Bottom Line:

East meets West in this sharply observed satire by Cristian Nemescu. Arguably the most resonant political film of this festival from a director tragically killed at 26 years of age. Winner of the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes Film Festival.
