The film tells the story of Doru, a lumberjack widowed for a week. Doru knows that he has to take Meda back to the orphanage, the girl he has had in foster care for eight years. He must get money in order to be able to keep Meda with him and to submit himself the foster care file. But he lives in an isolated place, where only lumbering and cow trading can bring legal money. So, after Doru tried everything humanly possible, he is forced to accept to take part to a poaching action.
The film release will be accompanied by the opening of a social photography exhibition, on Friday, 24 November at AFI Cotroceni, starting at 18.30. The exhibition's opening will be followed by the film screening.
Inspired by the film, four of the most talented Romanian photographers - Vlad Eftenie, Cristian Șuțu, Cătălin Olteanu and Edi Enache – were invited to created replicas of the film poster with real characters – children living in foster homes, like Meda, the hero of the feature.
The photo exhibition entitled “The part
not so bright of having a foster child”, capturing in a touching way the special relation created between children and foster parents, will be open for viewing until 9 December.
The tickets, granting access both to the exhibition's opening and to the film's screening, are available on
www.cinemacity.ro and at the box offices of Cinema City within AFI Cotroceni.
