if you love seeing strong and (!) realistic female characters and you love animals, see this one

Besides the cinematography, which is astonishing, with a beautiful balance between thrilling images of a real tiger and cinematic natural landscapes, the film tells a story about loss and betrayal in a light manner, making the audience laugh out loud in apparently tense moments. The film is a well-done tragi-comedy and I have never seen a Romanian film fit so well in the fine line between artsy festival films and commercial films, made with care and love for the audience. The main character is Vera, a female veterinarian who is strong and also soft, both tough and elegant and loves animals deeply. As a woman myself, I enjoy seeing a powerful female character on screen with all of her strengths and weaknesses, without the need of the writer-director to portray her unidimensionally tough. In the same way, the antagonist, her husband, played by Paul Ipate, is guilty of hurting her but at the same time you see his weak, human nature. The author understands relationships dynamics and the film doesn't judge its characters, but loves and tries to understand them. I wish it last longer and I hope the people will go to cinema and see it. The music is also beautiful and adds to the experience of seeing it.
