Synopsis / Sinopsis

A day in the life of Tudor Sişu, a member of a well-known hip-hop band in Romania, called “La Familia”. He was jailed twice. Firstly, for drug possesion and drug deal, then for self-use. He was released in 2005. One year later, he was imprisoned again. Since 2007, he entered a surveillance programme, for the duration of his trial. Every Monday since, he has to report to the police section he is assigned to. The film follows his Mondays, dawn to dusk, starting with his mandatory visit to the police station, and then to the recording studio, where he is fit enough to record two songs. We follow his nightlife, ending, together with some conjuctural friends, in an appartment in Bucharest, where drugs are commonplace. A b/w documentary, showing drug abuse, rather meant to show realities than to pass judgments.

Filmul prezintă o zi din viaţa lui Tudor Sişu, cântăreţul din trupa La Familia care a fost de două ori în puşcărie. Arestat în 2003, pentru trafic de droguri şi deţinere de droguri pentru consum propriu, a fost eliberat în 2005, pentru ca în 2006 să fie arestat din nou. Eliberat în noiembrie 2007, se află acum într-un program de supraveghere, pe durata procesului. În fiecare zi de luni, el trebuie să meargă la secţia de poliţie. Documentarul prezintă o astfel de zi de luni, din zori până noaptea târziu, începând cu vizita la secţia de poliţie, continuând cu lucrul în studio, unde Sişu, în mare formă, înregistrează două piese, şi încheind cu aventurile sale nocturne, alături de câţiva prieteni, într-un apartament din Bucureşti, unde nu lipsesc drogurile. Un film în alb-negru, care nu judecă, ci arată.
