It starts with the weight of his parents' past in 80s Romania, but then it shifts, pulling you into his own reflections. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, inviting you to linger on each moment. The atmosphere is thick with nostalgia, layered with a sense of urgency as he grapples with his identity.
