Trivia

Presa internaţională
"Un debut cinematografic convingător realizat cu mult bun gust. Joc actoricesc impresionant!" (Variety)

Tudor Giurgiu despre film
„Am vrut să fac un film sensibil și curat. Un film care îți aduce aminte de prima poveste de dragoste, întodeauna sfârșită prost. Nu știu de ce, dar așa se întâmplă în mai toate cazurile. Suntem plini de energie, investim mult în prima relație, vine repede, ca un taifun, se consumă pe neașteptate și pleacă apoi la fel de rapid lăsându-ne mai goi, mai deștepți, mai maturi...”
