1999 · 10 min · Documentary

In 1998, singer Adrian Simionescu, known as Adrian Copilul Minune, was 24 years old, living in an apartment building in Dristor, and his concerts filled Sala Polivalentă to capacity. Cătălin Mitulescu's documentary, which captures Adrian at home with his family, in the moments of preparation before a concert, is among the first signs of admiration and attention towards a Roma musician, at the very moment when maneles began to penetrate and mark the cultural space of the Romanian transition with their unique style.
