Overview

For Radu, life in the city is measured in the pages of a foreign magazine and in his first, confusing kiss. But everything changes when he takes on a crushing mission that cannot be postponed: to find his father, who has gone fishing in an isolated corner of Dobrogea, to deliver the news of his great-grandfather's death. The urgent journey turns into an odyssey through broken buses and unpredictable encounters - from a gentle teacher to a cynical black marketeer. Just when the communist wasteland threatens to overwhelm him, Radu meets Elena, a girl with auburn hair and green eyes on a bicycle, who becomes his guide and his first escape. She offers him a moment of silence and intense life, just before he has to utter the hardest words. This is a story about duty and coming of age, about the first love that you lose before you get a chance to live it, and about the burden of a piece of news that changes a father forever.
