影片讲述了一个典型的罗马尼亚家庭从乡下到城里去领取他们中的大奖。在途中通过高度喜剧化的方式展现了罗马尼亚正经历的经济和社会方面的巨变。然而，这一家人的团结也因为这场原本是一件天大的喜事而遭到严重破坏，再也开心不起来。原来是18岁的女儿赢得了一辆价格不菲的汽车，结果竟然演变成了一场商业广告。 一罐果汁，三个标签，让她击败了不计其数的消费者，成为崭新房车的主人，但她的噩梦却才刚开始...。 得奖容易吗？资本主义社会里中产阶级的梦魇，凝结在一个幸运抽中大奖的年轻女孩身上。喝完果汁，寄出三个标签，她击败了不计其数寄出千枚标签的消费者，成为崭新房车的主人。最困难的，她轻松度过了，却没想到噩梦却才刚开始。 《世界上最快乐的女孩》叙述一个抽中大奖的女孩德莉亚，千里迢迢随着父母到市中心，配合厂商拍摄促销广告。在广告中，她必须现出幸运到不可思议的快乐笑容，念出一连串拗口饶舌的台词，心旷神怡地喝下大半令她获奖的果汁；在广告外，她却必须应付下至拍摄工作人员、上至活动赞助商的各种难缠要求，最令她窒息的却还不是这些陌生人，而是伴她前来的父母，正软硬兼施要她把还没拿到手的新车即刻脱手转卖，好应付家里那些没完没了的账单，就当作报答父母的养育之恩。拍摄过程的消耗、同学质疑她得奖的真实性、诱人的新车、咄咄逼人的父母，德莉亚开始感到身心俱疲......。 宛如《受影响的女人》中，吉娜罗兰所饰演的家庭主妇角色，因生活中高低小事而逐渐削减旺盛的意志，在疯狂的群体中无法自保，《世界上最快乐的女孩》中的德莉亚从得奖那一刻开始，就踏上了始料未及的麻烦路程，慢慢分毫地削弱她对得奖的快乐，直到她再也笑不出来为止。而这些打击她的重手，却是奖励她喝果汁的厂商，以及理应与她一同分享的父母。神采飞扬的广告背后，隐藏的是多少以理智包藏的利欲野心，以及为资本主义奴役的现代奴仆。 故事背景仅在一个白天进行，无过多冗长说教的台词、无刻意雕琢的对比凸露，镜头默默检视这个广告的拍摄过程，寓意即自然流露，讽刺感强烈精确。近乎舞台剧式的封闭格局，似乎成为新锐导演们严谨叙事的不错选择，低成本的限制反而让要诉说的概念更加火力集中。看完《世界上最快乐的女孩》，或许可以想想自己会不会早已无形成为资本主义社会中「最快乐的人」，却连一台车、一个小奖也没抽中过。导演Radu Jude生于1977年，在拍过一系列短片之后，这是他的第一部长片。

故事发生在1835年的东欧，宪兵康斯坦丁（特奥多·科尔班 Teodor Corban 饰）带着他的儿子伊沃尼塔（米海·科玛罗尤 Mihai Comanoiu 饰）正在茫茫的沙漠里追捕奴隶卡费（ 托玛·库兹因 Toma Cuzin 饰），因为这名奴隶和雇主的妻子有着不纯洁的关系。虽然身为父子，但康斯坦丁和伊沃尼塔的个性截然不同，前者热情又乐观，总是充满了干劲，而后者沉默又内向，脑海里无时不刻都在思考着人生。 一路上，父子两人遇见了各种各样的人，他们有着不同的肤色，不同的信仰，虽然同为人类，但彼此之间有着非常激烈的思想碰撞，这些人给伊沃尼塔的世界观带来了极大的震撼，也让他一路成长。

On June 29, 1941, the Jewish residents of the city of Iasi were rounded up and beaten, shops and homes were looted, and most of the men were shot or crowded onto trains, where they later died of asphyxiation. While Germans took part in the pogrom, the majority of the perpetrators were Romanian policemen, military officers and civilians. How can a film deal with this crime? Radu Jude and Adrian Cioflâncă have opted for a radical, pared-down approach: their film lists the names of those who died from A to Z, illustrating them with photographs from passports and family albums. Astoundingly sober accounts are heard in voiceover. Through repetition, accumulation and variation, the filmmakers make the scale of the atrocity tangible, allow nuances to emerge and give the number of victims – 13,000 – concrete form, until, at the end, after about two-and-a-half hours, they draw on an entirely different visual register.

It is the story of Mugur Calinescu, a Romanian teenager who wrote graffiti messages of protest against the regime of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu and was subsequently apprehended, interrogated, and ultimately crushed by the secret police.

During the summer of 1937, Emanuel, a young man in his early twenties, is committed to a sanatorium on the Black Sea coast for treatment of his bone tuberculosis. The treatment consists of painful spine punctures that confine him to a plaster on a stretcher-bed. Little by little, as Emanuel gets accustomed to the sadness of his new life, he discovers that inside the sanatorium there is still a life to be lived to the fullest.

"I do not care if we go down in history as barbarians." These words, spoken in the Council of Ministers of the summer of 1941, started the ethnic cleansing on the Eastern Front. The film attempts to comment on this statement.
