Summary:
On vacation with his wife and his four year old son, Bogdan "Boogie" runs into his best friends from high-school.  Frustrated that, between his job and his family, time is no longer his to manage and play with, Boogie takes his shock dosage of freedom and spends the night reliving the vices of his youth.

IMDB

Boogie from director Radu Muntean (The Paper Will Be Blue), is a radical departure from the usual themes of the Romanian New Wave.  There is no talk of revolution, no grim life of poverty and no crumbling and overflowing tenements.  Instead, we get to see the picturesque seaside and a view of life in modern Romania, yes they also have cell phones, laptops, and imported Swedish cars.  Stellar performances from Dragos Bucur (Liviu's Dream) as the thirty something family man struggling with his identity and Anamaria Marinca (4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days) as his wife who feels neglected.

Yeah, the poster made me think it was something completely different than what was in the description. Either way, I want to see it.
