R.M.N. movie storyline. A few days before Christmas, having quit his job in Germany, Matthias returns to his multi-ethnic Transylvanian village. He wishes to involve himself more in the education of his son, Rudi, left for too long in the care of his mother, Ana, and to rid the boy of the unresolved fears that have taken hold of him. He’s preoccupied with his old father, Otto and also eager to see his ex-lover, Csilla. When a few new workers are hired at the small factory that Csilla manages, the peace of the community is disturbed, underlying fears grip the adults, and frustrations, conflicts and passions erupt through the thin veneer of apparent understanding and calm.
R.M.N. is a 2022 drama film written and directed by Cristian Mungiu. Set in a multiethnic village in Transylvania, Romania, during the 2019–20 holiday season, the film follows a man who returns from Germany and his ex-lover who works in the village. Mungiu named the film after a Romanian acronym for nuclear magnetic resonance, as the film is “an investigation of the brain, a brain scan trying to detect things below the surface”. The film is based on the 2020 Ditrău xenophobic incident.
The film premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival in the main competition. In May 2022, IFC Films acquired the North American rights ahead of the premiere,[8]and released it in US theaters on April 28, 2023. It also screened at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival,[10] in the Contemporary World Cinema category, as well as at the 29th edition of the European Film Festival Palić, and the 15th edition of the Central and Eastern European Film Festival in Luxembourg.
