A still of a painting of Matei Dance of The Spirits

Director: Andreea-Loren Florea

Year: 2026

Matei, a young boy living in a village on the outskirts of Romania, finds more solace in the company of his sheep than with his abusive, alcoholic father. When Matei begins to mimic his father's violence and turn it back onto the sheep, we glimpse the anger that may lie in his future. After he publicly humiliates himself in front of the entire village, his anger only grows, made worse by the fact that his father predicted it. It seems Matei is predetermined to be whatever he is told he is, and nothing else. He is stuck in a self-perpetuating cycle of violence and humiliation. So, when Matei runs off into the woods outside his village and stares at an innocent little sheep, he finds himself at a crossroads.
