Twenty years after the Romanian Revolution, Tavi Ionescu, a nice, if somewhat immature, guy in his late 30s, finds out from his Securitate (Romanian Secret Police) file that he might be the father of a son he didn’t know about. Starting his own secret investigation, Tavi gets caught up in a complicated past that now unfolds to reveal some ugly hidden truths, messing up his life and the lives of the those close to him. For the first time in his live, Tavi is forced to make really mature decisions. Roxanne is a story about friendship, betrayal and courage. Coming from the director ‘s personal experience, the film shows the consequences of mistakes from the past that affect our present life and the life of future generations.
