- Synopsis
- A cinematic adventure bringing together five unique stories, each offering a fresh perspective on everyday life in Moldova. From the fantastic travels of an old man and his magical outhouse in ”Billion” to the tension between old traditions and new dietary habits in ”Mother Nature”, each film explores culture, humor, and moral dilemmas in its own way. ”What Do You Say?” delves into the awkwardness of an unusual hitchhiking experience, while ”The Poor Man and the Whore Cat” delivers a satirical tale about greed and self-deception. In ”Place Under the Sun”, a father and his son fight for survival in a Moldovan marketplace of the early 2000s, offering a deeply moving glimpse into determination and hope.
