The old road of the Dacians and Romans and of transhumance, myths and legends is today the road connecting Alba and Sibiu Counties to Gorj and Vâlcea Counties. The film originated in the director's lifelong fascination with the stories born by the rivers, mountain lakes, peaks, valleys and caves completing the fabulous landscape and local mythology. Then, by the use of archive images and interviews with local people, the viewer finds out where the name King Road originated, how in the ’30s the road was stoned and inaugurated with the King Carol II in attendance, being deemed at the time an extraordinary technical accomplishment, with an important economic, strategic and military role.
