    Synopsis

    On the main road you walk on sand. From the hilltop you hear the whole village. In the summertime you can cool down in the river. Anamaria is looking for her love. To Aronela her faith is important. During the period of Ceaușescu Elena used to work in the tractor factory. Aron is the local representative of the Partida Romilor. He feels responsible for his family and the village. Beniamin and Simon take us along to the forest. ’The forest looks like the mountains, do you see that?’, says Iosif. In the summer of 2004, Elena and Aron Lingurar asked us if we wanted to become the Godparents of their daughter Anamaria. Since then we have seen each other almost every year and at some point we suggested making this movie portrait with them. Christiane Schmidt (Berlin) & Didier Guillain (Brussels)
