Synopsis

My story takes place in Moldova, a small forgotten territory, wedged between Slav Ukraine and Latin Romania while the omnipresent nature. It is more particularly a huis-clos taking place in the national film studio of Moldova created in 1947 under the Soviet Union. The New Correspondent of Golden Fund — initially thought o fas a "testimony of Moldavian film heritage" — has become a non-linear film, breaking down the boundaries between fiction, documentary, dream and reality. This film takes us to an unusual place, between past glories of Moldovan cinema, Soviet censorship and shy hopes of a renewal for this almost abandoned place. It wants to be a vibrant tribute to the Seventh Art and all its craftsmen.
