1. Love 1. Dog (directed by Florin Șerban, drama) – Ou first recommendation is a Romanian film starring Valeriu Andriuță and Cosmina Stratan and it’s a visceral love story between a solitary forest ranger and a woman abandoned in the woods. A story isolated in time and space which explores a love that builds on fear, anger and possessiveness.

The film can be watched on Sunday, February 24th, at 6:30 PM, at the Peasant Museum Cinema.

1. Oh, Ramona! (directed by Cristina Jacob, comedy) – This feature follows Andrei’s transformation from a teenager into an adult who finds himself incapable of making a choice between the two love stories he lives in parallel: his first love story is innocent but unrequited, while the second one is intense and crazy.

1. Everybody in our family (directed by Radu Jude, comedy, drama) – As usual, our first recommendation is from our friends at Cinepub.
