Ordinary Failures

A Romanian woman working as a social worker investigates the case of a young boy who has been placed in state care, only to find herself confronting the indifference and bureaucratic failures of the system she represents. As she digs deeper into the child's circumstances, the film examines how institutional neglect and small moral compromises compound into devastating consequences for the most vulnerable. The story unfolds as a quiet but damning portrait of a welfare system that routinely lets people fall through the cracks.
