Side-B
Disappear is the story of a group of twenty-year-olds who, in their prime, are shattered by a car accident in which one of them dies. All those shards make up a fresco which, in the style of jazz improvisation, aims to portray something as personal and universal as the uncertain passage from youth to adulthood. Life hurts, but you don't know that when you're young. It is death that teaches us this.
This film also explores the different ways of accepting the grief of a generation whose emotional education is built around screens. The first generation that is both an actor and a spectator of itself.

Things don’t work out the way he expected and he eventually ends up with no girlfriend, no money and no passport, so he has to get by as an illegal immigrant in a country he knows nothing about.
His luck will change when he meets Marisa, a warm-blood dreamer who has found her place in this country; and Mioara, a girl from Bucharest who arrived two years ago looking for a job.
