Director's / Curator's Statement:
"Outside" is not only a portrait of a released murderer in Romania and his attempt to survive in decent manner and to get along with himself and the indelible guilt of having killed two people. The film is also the reflection of the intense and conflictual relationship between the film director and his protagonists.
