The film, which is a mixture of drama, emotion and humour, talks about the relationship between an overbearing mother and her adult son. The Child's Pose is a film about the traumas suffered by children suffocated with love and about the marks left by parents on their children's personalities.
At the same time, the film is an X-ray of the Romanian contemporary high-class, addressing topics such as peddling and corruption in the core institutions of our society, as well as their extensions over the whole socio-economical system in today's Romania.
The main characters of the film are played by Luminiţa Gheorghiu (winner of the Los Angeles Film Critics' Association Award, Namur FF Award and Transilvania IFF Award for her part in “The Death of Mister Lăzărescu” by CristiPuiu) and Bogdan Dumitrache (winner of the Locarno FF "Best Actor" Award for “Best Intentions” by Adrian Sitaru). The film also stars Nataşa Raab, Florin Zamfirescu, Ilinca Goia, Cerasela Iosifescu, Mimi Brănescu and Vlad Ivanov.
