Horia

A brilliant feature film debut from writer and director Comănescu, in which she revitalises two somewhat worn-out subgenres: the coming-of-age story and the road movie. Horia (Vladimir Teca), almost 18 years old, is an idealistic village boy whose lover, unfortunately, lives on the other side of a very vast Romania. After an argument with his father, Horia jumps on his father's Mobra moped and sets off to meet his lover (without permission, of course). Unforeseen difficulties and entanglements soon ensue. It's a lively, beautifully told story with a dash of upbeat humour, somewhat reminiscent of last year's Slovenian EUNIC film festival success Riders. An unforgettable journey awaits you!
