Poppy Field

Starring: Conrad Mericoffer, Alexandru Potocean, Radouan Leflahi

Planning to spend a romantic weekend with his long-distance boyfriend, Christi's tender reunion is cut short when he is called in to handle a crisis at work. Christi is a member of the Bucharest police force, and his unit is sent to quell a protest at a local movie theater, where a far-right group has interrupted the screening of a queer film. As tensions between the homophobic protesters and the audience mount, Christi, closeted to his fellow officers, begins to spiral out of control when he spots a former fling in the crowd. A violent outburst threatens to expose Christi's secret and forces him to confront the contradictions between his personal and professional life. Inspired by true events, Poppy Field "reveals aspects of the wider damage done by prejudice that are rarely seen onscreen" (Eye for Film) and is a "worthy entry into the Romanian New Wave" (Art House Street).
