Director: Andrei Dascalescu
A bittersweet love story. Where «sweet» is the love (after 55 years of marriage), «bitter» is the lack of time left for the «sweet» (the old age), and «story» is the everyday life. A film about the ancestral, pure way of living and loving. A cinematic, observational, sometimes voyeuristic look at a way of life and a life itself, both, almost extinct.
AWARDS
IDFA 2008, First Appearance Award (WIN); Transilvania IFF 2009, Best Debut Award (WIN).
