Robert “the Devil”, the “mounted angel”, comes back to the places he took possession of more than thirty years earlier. Times have changed: people scrape by from one day to the next, weighed down by the threat of unemployment and by bank loans; the shacks of the Rudari have given way to shabby concrete blocks cut off from water and heating, while luxury villas with pools and terraces turn towards the sun on the hills. Forced to leave Bucharest with his young wife and their son, the man of nearly sixty starts a new life in a hostile, corrupt place, where four people are drawn into a diabolical game of life and death.
