Back to All Events
Directed by Cristian Mungiu (2012)
Somewhere in rural Romania, young Alina visits her old boarding school friend Voichita at the Orthodox convent where the latter has become a devout Christian. They’re in their late teens now, and it’s evident in their private moments together that they once enjoyed an intimate relationship, which Voichita now treats as a sin to be confessed and suppressed. Alina wants Voichita to run away from the convent with her, but Voichita won’t budge. She wants Alina to do as she herself has done, redirect her passion for another person over to Christ.
