A common “ex”, a photo album, a few online conversations, a cup of coffee and a visit. Two girls build from bits and pieces the beginning of a love story. But the closer they get, the more the gap between them widens and they have to face the things that keep them apart.
In the entire film
Several Conversations About a Very Tall Girl there are only three male actors. When asked about this thing, the director Bogdan Theodor Olteanu said: “It is a film only with female characters, because we are looking at a world in which men very seldom enter. In the intimacy of a girl couple, the presence of men is more like an
accident then a rule. It is not a manifesto. It is obvious that the Romanian cinema excessively revolves around the male characters and that the women are a sort of a living background. I`m not sure if the directors are misogynous or if they merely put on film what they see around them, or both. I only meant to start a conversation. It was not my intention to write and to shoot without boys. It`s just that there was no situation in which they could have been good at something.” (Metropolis Newspaper)
