From the producer of much-discussed Romanian film Aferim and of German hit Toni Erdmann comes the bold, impressive film debut by Ivana Mladenovic.
Soldiers. Story from Ferentari is a film that breaks cinematic norms by offering an intimate portrayal of a love story taking place within the Roma Community living on the most marginal margins of Bucharest.
Forty-year-old anthropologist Adi is studying Roma culture. He is in need of a guide. He hires Alberto, his polar opposite: insolent, shameless, fond of alcohol and gambling, who spent most of his life behind bars. The two develop a friendship that turns into an unexpected love story, against the backdrop of societal discrimination and ever-increasing social gaps. Mladenovic successfully captures the chemistry and intimacy between the two men, who are her medium for observing culture in the forgotten periphery of Romanian society.
