From the DVD booklet:
Our town… is big! Maybe that’s why it has room for so many stories and events, for so many problems. Probably you’d like us to tell you a story, maybe even a love story. No. Today we’ll talk about a problem. In fact, it’s still a problem of the heart…but a problem to do with children. This is the start of a film made by Márta Mészáros during the few years she spent in Romania at the Sahia studio. The warmth of the beginning is unexpected for a film produced during one of Romania’s darkest decades. The film’s protagonists are orphans taken into care by the state and accommodated at a children’s home in Bucharest. Mészáros’s interest in the fate of children orphaned in the aftermath of the Second World War was autobiographic: as she had lost her parents as a child herself, she had first-hand experience of growing up without them.Read More »
