SCURTCIRCUIT

THE AWARD-WINNING FILM FROM SHANGHAI THAT CONFRONTS US WITH THE UNACCEPTABLE

Inspired by real events.

A LOVE STORY. A BIRTH. A TRAGEDY THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED.

They are young. They love each other. They dream of a future together.

Melania is only 15 when she discovers she is expecting a child. Faced with prohibitions, family pressure and the decisions of adults, her love for Emi becomes a struggle.

But just as a new life is about to begin, fate takes a horrific turn.

A fire ravages a maternity hospital. Newborns are trapped. Families see their lives changed forever.

How could such a tragedy have happened?

And above all, could it have been prevented?

Inspired by the terrible fire that took place in 2010 at the Giulești maternity hospital in Bucharest, SCURTCIRCUIT takes us into the heart of a tragedy in which love and innocence collide with human frailty, institutional failings and the weight of silence.

But this story is not only about Romania.

WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED TOMORROW IN FRANCE?

At a time when French hospitals face ongoing pressures, healthcare workers are raising the alarm about their working conditions, and institutional accountability is a question facing our society, this film takes on universal significance.

In Marseille, a city deeply marked by tragedies that have raised questions about negligence, safety and collective responsibility, its message resonates with particular force.

Because behind every tragedy are faces. Families. Dreams. And sometimes warnings no one wanted to hear.

A FILM THAT HAS MOVED INTERNATIONAL CINEMA.

In 2017, SCURTCIRCUIT made Romanian cinema history by becoming the country's first film selected for the official competition at the prestigious Shanghai International Film Festival.

At its 20th edition, it won the Golden Goblet Award – Outstanding Artistic Achievement Award, an international distinction recognizing the power of its direction and its courageous approach to contemporary human tragedies.

Featuring an exceptional cast that includes Maia Morgenstern, Dorel Vișan, Magda Catone, Claudiu Bleonț, George Ivașcu, Georgiana Saizescu and Adrian Văncică, Cătălin Saizescu's film transcends a simple account of a news story.

It is a work about young people and their shattered dreams. About adults' choices and their consequences. About love that endures, suffering that brings people together and solidarity that can emerge from horror.

A work that reminds us that behind the statistics, scandals and speeches, every human life is irreplaceable.

TEN YEARS LATER, ITS MESSAGE IS MORE RELEVANT THAN EVER.

Because indifference knows no borders.

Because some mistakes can cost lives.

Because some tragedies might have been prevented.

And because cinema can also awaken consciences.
