California Dreamin'

Romanian director Cristian Nemescu's comedy California Dreamin' (AKA Nesfarsit, 2007) unfolds against the backdrop of the Kosovo War, circa 1999. A NATO train rolls through a Romanian hamlet, transporting a plethora of weapons across the country - without official documents, and equipped only with the verbal consent of the Romanian authorities. The transport thus grows intensely vulnerable to the locals - particularly the corrupt head of the railway station, who moonlights as a mobster and promptly decides to interfere with the shipment.
