Bogdan George Apetri
Midway through her prison sentence, Matilda is granted a 24-hour temporary release. Not willing to return to jail, she plans to escape and flee the country. But before the day is over, Matilda must first confront her troubled past. She visits her brother, reluctant to offer any help, and Paul, her ex pimp and also father to her only child who owes her money. At last, Matilda meets Toma, her son. She proposes the kid to embark on the quest for a new life. A final choice they need to make together – or not.

''The thing that excited me the most when I started directing this film was the 24-hour timeframe. How much can we learn about a person in a single day? And most importantly, how? The challenge was made even more daunting by the very nature of this character – just out of prison after more than two years, Matilda is not the kind of person to talk or reveal much about herself. As she meets the three most important persons in her life (her brother, the father of her son and her son) very slowly, a picture of her begins to take shape. We find out bits and pieces about her past, we come to grasp her present situation, and we finally glimpse her possible future.''
