Povestea Uniu Secol

dir. Adrian Popovici

Romania, 2007 - 150

SYNOPSIS: In her villa in Boston, in New Year’s Eve, 2001, the family surrounds Eve O’Reind, attained at a respectable age. She projects them a black and white film about her parents, Luxita -the lady of honor of the Queen Mary and Tiberiu Alion, the commander of the Guard Room at the Peles Castle – the summer residence of the Royal House of Romania. She announces them she would write the story of her life, introduced by a marvelous birth in the dawn of 11-th of September 1919. Eve meets Tudor the day she celebrates her 16-th anniversary. He is the one who fulfill her as a woman, the love and the nightmare of her entire life, the one who perpetually leaves and returns in her life and when he disappears she shelters him deeply in her heart, always waiting. During these departures that empty her soul, she is going through moments of nightmare, killing Alfonse who had tried to rape her; meets the baron Oswald Von Seele to whom she marries; she finds peace. Tudor comes back and his returns make her love grow. They spend an unforgettable summer at the seaside. Oswald divorces. She is pregnant. Tudor leaves, called by his business without letting any address. The child dies at birth. The entire world is shaking, the borders of Europe and of the country collapse. All around Eve and Tudor - returned home – tragic events take place: political assassinations, assaults, legionary rebellion that outbreaks bloody massacres among the Jews. The entrance of Romania in the war finds Eve alone again. She volunteers at the Military Hospital. Here she meets Luchi – student at the medical school. A warm, affectionate friendship begins. Luchi proposes to her but she doesn’t promise anything, still shocked because of Oswald’s death, in an assault in Istanbul. One day, returned home she finds Tudor, unshaved, confused, who tells her the Gestapo is following him and he needs some documents in order to leave the country. Luchi finds out about Tudor’s returns, goes on the battlefield and dies. Eve thinks retrospectively and she realizes that Tudor’s encounters with a stranger, who is present in important moments, have a different meaning. Eve obtains the documents only at the end of spring. A day before Tudor’s departure she finds out she is pregnant but she doesn’t tell him about it in order not to influence him. She attends him to the train where the destructive air raids of the American air force from the 4-th of April 1944 make them lose each other’s way. With all her seeking Tudor is never found, neither between the wounded nor the dead. The stranger notices her that her staying in the country is dangerous and that she would better go with him to Tudor’s mother, in America. On the deck of the ship she finds out that Tudor led an American espionage netting in Romania. In a short epilog Eve clarifies her boy and nephews that read her story that their father wasn’t William O’Reind, but the unhappy, wanderer, hero of some ill-fated times, Tudor Adamian

The Spot

The Spot

Točka

dir. Juri Moroz

, 2006 - 85

Three Moscow prostitutes – Nina, Anya and Kira – offer their services on their grimy patch by the Red Gate. Their trade is mediated by a “firm”, whose sex business also puts a tidy packet in the direction of the local militia. The most quirky of characters find their way here, from dreamers and deviants to yuppies trying to fulfil their dreams of the weirdest form of immoral conduct. Each girl has her own story and fitting reason for abandoning her family and taking to the streets. They have all learned to rise above their awful experiences with an imaginary independence gained from their modest financial income. They have no illusions about a life full of violence, ruthlessness, humiliation and iniquity.

John & Jane

John & Jane

dir. Ashim Ahluwalia

India, 2005 - 83

A documentary about young Indians who become Americans at night. An astonishing look at the souls of the outsourced. They work in offshore call centres. They pitch products and soothe frayed consumer nerves. As they troubleshoot, they dream of America. As they dream, they change. The lives depicted here are real. These people have taken Western names. They sleep during the daytime and work in the middle of their night, following American business hours. None of them has ever left India. As part of their training, they learn the meanings that work, money and God hold for Americans. Some begin to adopt American values as their own. One dreams of buying his own Spanish-style villa. Another notes, “Everyone who’s ever gone to America gets rich.” When their shifts end, they go back to their traditional, modest, Indian homes.
