Directing
On a rainy day, two guys arrive in a small village with film and a projector in their car. No one from the village comes to meet them. What happened? Who are they? The not knowing relays no small amount of interest at times through tension as in a horror movie, and at times through compassionate laughter.
The documentary presents the life and research of Emil Racovita, one of the first Antarctic explorers, a pioneer of oceanology and the founder of a new science, the bio-speleology. He created in Cluj the first Institute of Speleology in the world. Using photographs made by Emil Racovita in Antarctica, the film focuses mainly on the Belgica expedition (1897-1899), the first scientific expedition who wintered in Antarctica, having Roald Amundsen, Frederick Cook on board and Adrien de Gerlache as captain.
While fully enjoying the life of the 70's, in communist Romania, a young man is arrested and accused of a terrible crime. Freed a few years later and deeply affected by his sinister experience, he tries to find out what had really happened.
A couple past their prime have to adapt to the new capitalist times. They both work as caretakers of the capital's Carol Park and lead a relatively quiet life, divided between the bean soup the woman cooks and the lunches the man takes in the mausoleum where some of the most important figures in Romanian politics of the last century sleep their final resting place. Everything falls apart when Trident chewing gum appears in their lives, in the guise of young girls who are intensely promoting a competition organized by the distributing company.
