'Zavera' (English: "Turmoil") is a 2019 Romanian drama film directed by Andrei Gruzsniczki, written by Gruzsniczki and Mircea Staiculescu, and produced by Saga Film. The plot follows tefan (played by Dorian Bogu), a construction engineer, who enters an existential crisis after his best friend and business partner Nic (played by erban Pavlu) dies in a bicycle accident. The film is subtitled "eight Gymnopdies" and is structured in eight days in the life of tefan after Nic's death.

The writing of 'Zavera' started in 2014 with a script development workshop organized by Sources 2 in Norway. During the next three years, Gruzsniczki struggled to find producers for the film. The production started in 2018. The initial idea for the film was to follow eight characters, but because of financial constraints it was reduced to only one. The score contains two of Erik Satie's 'Gnossiennes', performed by the original music composer Cristian Lolea'.'

The film premiered on November 23, 2019 at the Cairo International Film Festival and was theatrically released in Romania on November 29, 2019. It received two nominations at the 2020 Gopo Awards, Coca Bloos for Best Actress in a Supporting Role and Lolea for Best Original Music, but neither of them won.
