Vlad Corbeanu

Sixteen-year-old Adi struggles with persecution. The boy is taken for forensic examination, he has clear signs of being beaten, he doesn't say much. The police quickly determine that the attack may be related to his sexual orientation.

A lumberjack, Doru, whose wife dies leaving the child she was looking after, Meda, at risk of being sent to an orphanage, decides to fight for adoption, against the odds.

Meda, a thirteen years old girl, was raised up in modest conditions but with love in a country family, under maternal assistance legal conditions. When the mother, owner of the maternal assistance certificate, dies, Meda has to return to the orphelinat, against here will. The widower, behaving more than a true loving father, fights with all around him, authorities and people, in order to keep Meda and take care of her.

A return in time. A look over the shoulder, with irony and humor. A story about a generation that could not guess in those years how close the "change" would be. A world controlled and subordinated to some iron rules that they had to accept in silence and resist, because they stubbornly wanted to live. It was their life and they wanted to live it.
