Beyond the Sands

Ion (Dan Nutu) seeks to find out why many years ago his father was falsely accused of being a communist, an accusation which led to his execution. He discovers that his father’s mistress, now married to a wealthy man, made the accusation for money, as she was deathly afraid of poverty. Ion’s own girlfriend seems to be similarly concerned about issues of livelihood, and abandons him for a richer suitor. Frustrated and angry, he burns down these couple’s houses and takes up with some anti-communist arms smugglers.
