Contraforce

A state of emergency has been declared in the Republic of Moldova due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film director, together with his family, leaves the city and takes refuge in the countryside for the duration of the lockdown. There, faced with the new realities of life, the director conceives a new film about the creative artist’s mission in the modern world, where immorality and a lack of spirituality now prevail. The artist, who has dedicated his entire body of work to his love for humanity, is forced to accept an open confrontation with a new force that threatens civilisation…

Directed by Valeriu Jereghi, Contraforce leans on a strong ensemble — Igor Babiac, Nicolae Jelescu, Olivia Furtună — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 2022.
