Alexander Nanau
Romania 2014
93’
Original version with English subtitles
Alexander Nanau’s documentary about three children from Bucharest depicts the repercussions of century-old social exclusion and shows that which should not be ignored at the risk of fulfilling Roma stereotypes: loss of ethical principles, child neglect and drug abuse. But the young protagonists take fate into their own hands. Perhaps a fresh start is possible?
