This relatively recent game appears to take place in Romania. You play Bula,
though your objective is not really clear at the beginning. The game allows you
to talk to people and find information about your quest. It is somewhat
stereotypic in its descriptions of the people, and not too flattering to
Romanians. Unnecessary sexual allusions are included which do not add to the
game-playing. There are several unnecessary locations as well. There are many
choice points when you can do many wrong actions.
I suspect the title translates to "sunflowers".
You are in an aircraft and are falling. You have a parachute, which you bury.
