Plot: From acclaimed Romanian director Radu Muntean (Tuesday, After Christmas), Summer Holiday is a funny and bittersweet drama of male mid-life crisis and personal discovery.

During a blissful seaside vacation with his adorable, pregnant wife (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days’ Anamaria Marinca) and young son, 30-something Bogdan aka “Boogie” (Police, Adjective’s Dragos Bucur) bumps into his best friends from high school. They soon fall into wistful reminisces about their “glory days” of drinking binges and outrageous sexual escapades. Frustrated with his job and the constraints of family life, Boogie decides to indulge in one more wild night of boozing and chasing women with his old pals. But soon he realizes that his freewheeling bachelor buddies are, ironically, more trapped than he is—and that a life of marriage, parenthood and responsibility might just be the best fate of all.
