With the support of the Spanish authorities, the Romanian police are developing a bold and dangerous plan to unmask a criminal organization and capture the leader. The comedy settles with the visit of a Spanish official who puts great difficulty on the Romanian officials. In “Hola, mamacita, Shakira, Pique” all their vocabulary in Spanish is summarized and they understand about the official directives. “We’re on a mission, but who is that?” Obviously, things get fun. Fortunately, there are competent people to deal with the force intervention. A team of six girls from the special forces, ministers, commissioners, a puzzled driver, a criminal with a hidden identity and an officer full of lust, all set in motion.
In a society grappling with its communist past and European present, both the cultural elite and disenfranchised young men see forces of darkness descending over Europe. And then there are those who benefit from the inevitable clashes and ensuing chaos, like disgraced law student Tomek (Maciej Musiałowski) who’s desperately trying to get the attention of childhood friend Gabi (Vanessa Alexander) and the respect of her progressive family. Taking a job at a high-profile but amoral PR company to impress Gabi, Tomek soon finds that he excels at the dirty political games that he is asked to orchestrate on social media. But there’s a human price to his meddling. As Tomek gets sucked in deeper, his humanity slowly drains away, and it becomes less clear what the end game is.
