"We're going to meet you." We have found a treasure. Bones works in some boring office and lives a surprisingly boring and useless story-making life in which there seems to be no mystery or highlight. Office, money problems, wife, son in elementary school. Meticulous and pathologically correct, Bones in detail tells the boss the reason for his absence – went with a neighbor to look for a treasure. But there is something. Fatherhood and the desire to be an example of courage for his son, a kind of Robin Hood, the story about which Bones reads to his son in the evening.
But which office worker with no special talents is Robin Hood? Getting a treasure here is a problem. When meeting with the first patrol car, our hero immediately writes: We were going to you. We found a treasure trove... And all this in contrast to the secretive neighbor-misanthrope, somehow sure that the treasure must necessarily lie under a broken lightning tree, and not where the instruments show.
Combining the already familiar Romanian neorealism with characters uncharacteristic for this dull environment, Corneliu Porumboyu creates a great memorable film. The image of Bones and the amazing ending of the film become a reminder to the viewer that no matter what gift fate gives you - wealth or poverty - this is not a reason to forget about your main treasures.
