"Men of Deeds" tells the story of Ilie, who is in his thirties and enjoys the easy life of a rural policeman. His passivity during a series of violent events soon turns him into an accomplice in a crime. Tension builds up, forcing Ilie to make a final decision. The film received six of the most important awards at the 17th edition of the Gopo Awards (including Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Leading Actor, etc.) and was considered the best Romanian film of the year.
The screening was attended by Chinese students and cinephiles, as well as guests from the Romanian diaspora. The Q&A session was recorded and broadcast on China Radio International.

They stated, "The event was an important step in promoting Romanian culture beyond the country's borders and demonstrated the importance of cultural dialogue between nations."
