Let him who is without sin


cast the first stone?

Is that what we're dealing with regarding the symbolism of the initial rock through the window?

I assume we're not supposed to know who is doing it or why. We're just meant to realize that everybody in the Romanian society says they're moral but they don't really act that way?

That's probably it. The characters all keep banging us over the head with "this country is *beep* everybody's corrupt, leaving is the only solution" when actually you see they're also corrupt and part of everything they keep complaining about.

Hi, not sure about the symbolism, but... could Matei, Sandra's son, be the one breaking the windows? He throws a stone at a kid while he was at the playing ground with Romeo, because that kid "did something he wasn't supposed to" (just like Romeo). It seemed as standard practice to Matei. Maybe's not him, though, since he's kind of young to be walking around neighborhoods alone, breaking windows, messing up with the windshield wipers or simply targeting Romeo with that persistence... Then again, Sandra wasn't always around to keep an eye on him and Matei gave me the impression of an introverted yet clever "guy". Could this shot be any longer?
