Director: Radu Ciorniciuc

On the other side of the river, just a few steps from the Romanian capital Bucharest, a large family lives in a marshy terrain in voluntary isolation from civilisation. However, the unkempt plains are to become a national city park, and the settlers are expected to integrate into the life of the Eastern European metropolis. Local institutions have promised to hire the head of the family as the park manager, but who knows what their word is worth? Can the family adapt to the new rules and resist new temptations? This film by Romanian director and human rights activist Ciorniciuca offers a variation on the story of the man unspoiled by civilisation cast into the gears of the modern world, telling it with empathy but also without romanticising.
