Muntean films Bucharest's comfortable middle class. Each film puts a small crack in that comfort. A banker ten years into his marriage in Tuesday, After Christmas is having an affair with his daughter's orthodontist. One Floor Below has a man who overhears a violent quarrel behind a neighbour's door and must decide what to say about it. Scenes run in long takes at their real length, so you sit through every awkward minute.
