.
The film follows a day in the life of Cluj-Napoca, a city in Transylvania, focusing on the way the lives of the three main characters – Valer, an 85 year old retired colonel, Daria, an 89 year old retired Russian language teacher and Inocentiu, a 67 year old retired driver and ardent chess player – intertwine as the day evolves from sunrise to sunset. ‘Endgames’ is an exploration of memory, the experience of time and of old age, in the post- communist context of Romania.
