The Death of Mister Lazarescu
Plagued with a terrible headache that will not go away, elderly Mr. Lazarescu (Ion Fiscuteanu) calls an ambulance. As he makes his frustrating journey through the lethargic, mostly indifferent health care establishment in Romania, the lonely and ailing widower's plight becomes increasingly plaintive and grimly humorous. Luminita Gheorghiu, Gabriel Spahiu also star.
