Romania, 2019
Cristi, a corrupt Romanian policeman involved in a 30 million euro deal with the mafia, arrives on the island of La Gomera, in Spain, to learn El Silbo, the whistling language used by the locals. It will help him release Zsolt, a drug dealer in detention in Bucharest and the only one in the gang who knows where the money is hidden.
"A few years ago I watched a documentary about" El Silbo ". This fascinating language, on the verge of extinction, rediscovered and used again on the island of La Gomera, inspired and motivated me to write this story ”(Corneliu Porumboiu, director)
La Gomera celebrated the world premiere at this year's Cannes Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Palme d'Or and the North American premiere in the "Masters" section of the Toronto International Film Festival 2019.
