In the Romanian film, BOOGIE, the central character, Bogdan, (Boogie to his friends) is on weekend holiday with his wife and their three year-old son. Overworked and desperate to relax, Boogie struggles to adjust to the erratic whims of a child and demands of his wife. At every turn, they seem committed to stopping him from enjoying himself. Then he runs into his still-single high school buddies who are also in town for the weekend. Boogie longs to re-connect with his friends – and their youthful days of late night drinking and carousing. Needless to say, his wife is not too happy about this.
