Mr. Lazarescu is a retired Romanian engineer, spending his time in the company of his cats and booze. When he starts feeling unusually ill, he first seeks painkillers from his neighbors. It soon becomes apparent that Lazarescu is indeed sick, and an ambulance arrives with a nurse who has a few ideas about what could be the problem. However, a major traffic accident and poor organization leaves little room in Romanian hospitals for the fading Lazarescu.

Caustic humour and a web of catching hands try to stand our protagonist on his feet.

It is not an easy film to watch, certainly, at times it is quite dull, although you are never in doubt that this is entirely deliberate..

Lazarescu and Mioara dont have any special bond, but unlike the other medical professionals encountered on their odyssey, Mioara has compassion for Lazarescu and sees him as a person.
