Pintilie describes his short film Tertium non datur as "a tragicomic parable about the integration of the poorest of the poor, tormented by complexes, into the fiction we provisionally call Europe." Near the end of the war, two high-ranking German officers visit a Romanian military unit in their schoolhouse headquarters. Warmed by champagne, the German major shows his hosts his prize possession, the most expensive stamp in the world, the Aurochs Head. As it passes around the table, the legendary stamp disappears.
