Somewhere in between

Original title Undeva la Mijloc

[mlsid]

Ciprian, a young Romanian immigrant from Timisoara living in Belgium takes us through his city and his grand-mother’s small town. Driving around we take hitch-hickers. They tell us about the way they see the differences between past and present in Romania: changes between the city and the country side, the past and the future, the East and the West. Also, they speak
about the misunderstandings between generations. Such as many countries in the premise of the 21st century, Romania sits some-where in the middle. I come from Western Europe and I met Romania and Ciprian more then a year ago. This country intrigued me, its pace inspired me. Where is this country going to? What future can Romanians look for? In a context of social, cultural, economical and political transformations, will they find a new way to inhabit and see the world? If they find their way, what can we learn about the images that they put forward? Through this video made as a log book I tempted to be as intimate as possible to the Romanian people and ask them genuine questions about the future of our societies.
