Program

Acasă, My Home (Radu Ciorniciuc, Romania/Finland/Germany, 85′, DOC., SUB. ENG)

A patch of idyllic nature right next to the metropolis of Bucharest. In this area of overgrown reed and criss-crossing waterways there’s an eleven-strong family living under basic circumstances. 

When the territory is designated as a nature reserve the family has to yield: they are forcefully resettled into a small city apartment, in the heart of Bucharest.
