The Accident

"The Accident" is a short film where the protagonists are two Romanian immigrants living in UK. Following a work accident experienced by one of the protagonists, Alexandru Cârpaciu, and after months of hospitalization, he goes to the insurance company to explain in detail how the accident happened. Not knowing the English language, he turns to Relu, a Romanian friend, to help him with translation. Relu's level of English proves to be much inferior compared to the formal language that Alexandru Cârpaciu uses to tell his story.
The screenplay is based on the "Bricklayer's story."
