Kontinental '25 is a 2025 comedy-drama film written and directed by Radu Jude. The title of the film is inspired by Roberto Rossellini's 1951 film Europe '51. It stars Eszter Tompa as Orsolya, a bailiff in Cluj, who faces a moral crisis when a homeless man she tries to evict, living in the basement of a building, commits suicide.[1][2]
A homeless man's eviction in Cluj leads to his tragic suicide, leaving bailiff Orsolya consumed by guilt. This film, blending drama and absurdist comedy, examines the housing crisis, post-socialist economics, and nationalism. Inspired by Europe '51, it contrasts meaningful action with Orsolya's desperate, unfulfilled search for understanding. Her moral ambiguity reflects contemporary societal malaise.
