Ana Lungu : 2015
Autoportretul unei fete cuminţi
Cristiana is a 30-year-old woman, brought up in a 'proper', bourgeois middle-class family. Her time is split between writing for her PhD in Earthquake Engineering, conversations with Alex and Michelle, her two close friends and the occasional, eagerly awaited rendezvous with Dan, a married man with whom she is romantically involved. After her parents move out of the family apartment into a new house, Cristiana has the freedom of an adult for the very first time. She gingerly feels her way in this new space – literally and metaphorically. She can smoke as much as she likes, re-hangs her parents' art and decides to get a dog, something she has wanted ever since she was a child. However, the condescending attitudes of Cristiana's father and friends, which diametrically oppose her growth, become ever more challenging in her struggle for independence. Alone in the empty rooms, Cristiana has to fill the recently conquered space. She is happy she can finally be herself, but in fact has no idea who she is. Ana Lungu's second feature premiered in the Signals section at International Film Festival Rotterdam 2015.
