R.M.N.
R.M.N. is a 2022 drama film produced, written and directed by Cristian Mungiu. Set in a multi-ethnic village in Transylvania, Romania, during the 2019–20 holiday season, based on the 2020 Ditrău xenophobic incident, it follows a man who returns from Germany and his ex-lover who works in the village. Mungiu named the film after a Romanian acronym for nuclear magnetic resonance, as the film is "an investigation of the brain, a brain scan trying to detect things below the surface".
The film had its world premiere in the main competition of the 2022 Cannes Film Festival on 21 May 2022, where it was nominated for the Palme d'Or. It was theatrically released in Romania on 3 June 2022 by Voodoo Films.
