Cast: Leopoldina Balanuta, Maria Ploae, Mircea Albulescu

I was seduced, as high school student, by Ioan Slavici novel inspiring this film.

I saw the film as far adaptation, at the first sight, by the images proposed by book. But Mircea Veroiu, like Calin Ghibu, offers precise definition of a world dominated by money, cold pragmatism, intense dramas.

The beauty of this film is reflected by inspired cinematography but it is just remarkable for the wise reflection of nuances crafting each character.

Scene by scene, I admired, I admire yet, the atmosphere and profound inspired acting, the touch of emotions and the proper definition of characters. Mara proposed by Leopoldina Balanuta is a real impressive one, like the honest, admirable - precise crafted portrait of Persida created, with grace, by Maria Ploae or Mother Aegidia created by Irina Petrescu.

The soul of a lost world, Transylvanian life in the beginning of XX century, a love story and the fights against life challenges of a widow and the relations in a small comunity , being bricks of destinies.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
