The Whistlers
Loyalty is not their language.
Directed by Corneliu Porumboiu
Produced by 42 Km Film, Les films du Worso
A stylish neo-noir thriller built on deception and coded communication, where a corrupt cop navigates a labyrinth of criminal intrigue using an obscure whistling language as both plot device and metaphor for hidden meanings.
A Romanian police officer, determined to free from prison a crooked businessman who knows where a mobster's money is hidden, must learn the difficult ancestral whistling language (Silbo Gomero) used on the island of Gomera.
