The documentary written and directed by Ana Dumitrescu and produced by the Jules et Films company, speaks about the Romania of the past century, seen through the eyes of a man lost in history. The main character, Liviu Canter, a 92 years old man, outlived many major historical events. Having a rich experience as a photojournalist, Ana Dumitrescu collaborated with many media groups and agencies in France and Romania (National Geographic, Mediafax, Gamma-Rapho). Licu, a Romanian Story is a documentary about the passing of time and old age, a reflection on our own condition and ephemerality. At his age, Licu has remained alone with his memories about his family and important moments of his life. Each sequence is conceived as a photograph in an album.
In Romania, the film will be released on August, 24, 2018, by ROLLERCOASTER PR. The international distributor is Taskovski Films.
