Traffic

Traffic (Jaful secolului, 2025) is a drama from director Teodora Ana Mihai that you can watch online on iFILM. A Romanian-Belgian-Dutch co-production, it follows two people who leave their small village on the Danube chasing a better life and end up somewhere very different from the one they imagined.

Natalia and Ginel head to Rotterdam for work. At first the strange city still holds some hope, but it curdles into fear fast. After a brutal night leaves Natalia the victim of an assault, there's no one she can turn to except an old acquaintance from home — a man who long ago traded an honest life for a criminal one. He agrees to help. The trouble is that in his world, protection comes at a steep price, and it isn't paid in cash. Anamaria Vartolomei plays a woman cornered slowly, almost matter-of-factly.

Mihai films without sparing the audience and without cheap melodrama: migration here isn't a slogan but a chain of small decisions, each one leading further from any way out. It's a film for viewers who appreciate hard-edged social drama in the East European new-wave tradition. Stream Traffic (2025) online on iFILM.
