While going through an emotional breakdown, Vera, a small town zoo veterinarian, causes the escape of a tiger.
A roaming tiger terrorizing a small town becomes the catalyst for exploring the wilds of human desire, the jungle of love, the desert of loss, and sorrow in this imaginative, haunting debut that unveils a new talent in the rich reservoir of Romanian cinema. Vera, the veterinarian at the local zoo will recognize something of her in the animal everyone is chasing, kindling a sense of compassion she believed she didn’t possess. At the same time, long-hidden truths from her past and the challenges in her marriage break free, upending her life.
