Alina gets back from Germany to bring Voichița – the only person she loves and was loved by in this world – back to her. But Voichița found God – and God is the most difficult lover one can be jealous of.
„Deep down, I hope, BEYOND THE HILLS speaks about options and choices in life deriving from education or from the lack of education, and about how many things in life derive from things that you cannot influence, or of which you are not guilty: where you were brought into the world, by whom, and in the middle of which community.
The film also speaks about a region of the world – like many others – where long time exposure to an endless succession of misfortunes and atrocities of all kinds has led to a breed of inert people who have lost their normal reactions in front of normal stimuli. This is not necessarily their fault – it is just a natural survival mechanism, but one which is experienced as an extra burden for those still alive amongst them.”
Cristian Mungiu, film director
