With director Bogdan Theodor Olteanu in person for discussion after the film

U.S. premiere

Presented by the Romanian Cultural Institute

Romania. Dir. Bogdan Theodor Olteanu. 2018, 70 mins. Digital projection. With Silvana Mihai, Florentina Nastase. Two women who share a former lover begin a series of Skype conversations in Bogdan Olteanu’s deceptively relaxed and emotionally incisive love story. The women are polar opposites; in a remarkable screen debut, Silvana Mihai plays a vulnerable character tentatively coming to terms with her sexuality. Her shyness is contrasted by the brashness of Florentina Nastase’s much more experienced bohemian. (Nastase’s character is making a silent experimental documentary about another gay couple). This endearing and incisive film is considered the first Romanian film focused on a lesbian love story.
