Veteran Romanian actor Vlad Ivanov is Cristi, a corrupt Bucharest cop who has become involved in the drug-money-laundering setup he has been investigating. Huge amounts of cash are hidden in mattresses for export, their final destination is the island of La Gomera in the Canaries, where the bad guys are headquartered. Cristi has discovered that his superiors suspect him and have placed secret surveillance cameras in his apartment. He knows exactly where they are but must carry on as normal.  The most surreal aspect is that Cristi must be brought over to La Gomera to be schooled in the local (and quite genuine) tradition of silbo whistling – the art of communicating in a whistled version of Spanish. The mobsters use it as a code that the police can’t crack. That whistling could well become a vital channel of communication between Cristi and a woman he is obsessed with.
