If I Whistle, I Whistle

If I Whistle, I Whistle

Eighteen-year-old Silviu is serving out the last few days of his four year prison sentence.

Called away from his manual labour, Silviu finds an unexpected visitor waiting for him: his younger brother, bringing news that their mother has returned from Italy.

His mother’s return catches Silviu off guard; it obviously wasn’t expected, and it obviously isn’t wanted. It’s clear that Silviu’s bond with his brother runs deep, more fatherly than fraternal.

Silviu’s need to protect his brother manifests itself in anger when he hears that his mother wants to take his brother away.

Silviu, we learn, will do anything to prevent his mother from ruining his brother’s life in that way that she ruined his.

But the mother wants to whisk the brother away before Silviu’s release, meaning that if he’s going to take action, he’s going to have to do it from inside...
