Synopsis by Maggie Sadler
Aging police officer and mafia double-agent Cristi (Vlad Ivanov) ventures to Gomera, a remote territory in the Canary Islands, on an assignment to liberate a shady businessman from prison. However, he must first learn a dialect comprised entirely of whistles, used by mafia agents to covertly communicate, in order to be successful on his mission. He also crosses paths with Gilda (Catrinel Marlon), a former one night stand who turns out to be his mission partner. The black comedy is directed by Romanian filmmaker Corneliu Porumboiu.
