Limonade
The three films presented in May and June that we are bringing together in this cycle bear witness to the vivacity of contemporary Romanian cinema. Whether in the gargantuan form of a lengthy discussion at a social gathering at the dawn of the 20th century (Malmkrog), a delirious farce mixing porn, social satire and historical archives (Bad Fuck or Porno Barjo), or a migratory drama filmed in Montreal (Limonade), these films observe in all their complexity the paradoxes and fractures that run through Romanian society.
Mara, a Romanian nurse, has married one of her patients. She is waiting for American citizenship and is being blackmailed for this alleged fake marriage.
