TWST / THINGS WE SAID TODAY  2024

Director:          Andrei Ujică

TWST takes as its starting point the arrival of the Beatles in New York for their August 1965 concert at Shea Stadium, and as its title a Beatles song that already anticipates a time when the present moment will have become a haunting past, neither retrievable nor forgettable. But the frame of reference steadily broadens. Adjacent realities of 1965 are juxtaposed—the New York World’s Fair, the Watts riots filtering through from the East Coast on television. A cast of thousands summoned up—each separate sphere, each face and place given equal weight, each instant a center. Within these domains ghostly uncorporeal presences circulate, their words audible—figures of vanished youth still inhabiting these locations whose gritty photographic textures confirm their reality. A journey to the hidden core of that world both gone and palpably present.

Ilie, a small-town police chief, wants to build a modest comfortable life for himself, but ends up making the wrong choices. Middle-aged and alienated, he feels the need to be a part of something - to build an orchard, even a home. Although dubious things happen in the village, Ilie only sees what suits him. The moment he gets involved in the village marks the beginning of his collapse. In a vacuum of solutions, he tries to be what he has never been before: the justice seeker who arrests everyone guilty.

She had received a slap on her face, justified by jealousy - an unprecedented and random act of violence. A couple of days following this event reveal the carousel of her emotions and her impossibility to take any decision. Revenge seems to be the only clear direction to follow, so Mia decides to get even. She plans to make a sex tape and show it to her boyfriend - there’s no doubt that this is the worst thing she could do to a man haunted by jealousy. But either cheered or blamed by her friends and the men she involves in her plan, everyone seems to have a strong opinion about what happened.

​

A common passion and a debilitating mental disorder bring a daughter and her father together and apart, in front of the camera. While their relationship unfolds, a more complex discussion and social dynamics take shape, touching upon the inability to communicate, the transmission of trauma through generations, education and personal development, the stigma of mental illness. A series of dialogues alternate with daily life sequences brought to us either from present reality footage or from the father’s VHS archives.
