TATĂL FANTOMĂ | THE PHANTOM FATHER | Official Trailer

Based loosely on the short story "Almost Oriental" by cult writer Barry Gifford (Wild at Heart, Lost Highway), this story of an American professor searching out his family's past in Romania has Chicago roots. Robert Traum follows the trail of his grandfather, a Capone-era mobster, back to the Carpathian town of his birth, where some surprising revelations await. A bittersweet attraction to a government archivist smoothes the way for a road trip in search of the keys to the story: a long-shuttered cinema and an aged projectionist who's gone missing.
