In Detail

Part drama, part thriller, the story follows Pamfir as he returns to his family after a long absence, ready to celebrate the traditional carnival in their home village the following day.

But when his son starts a fire in the prayer house, Pamfir has no other choice but to reconnect with his troubled past. He returns to work for a shady crime syndicate operating a risky smuggling venture, with irreversible consequences.

Bold and brave, like its protagonist, ‘Pamfir’ gorges on its imagery, with the final visual marker sending shivers down the spine.
