    • Quotes
      [on Comoara (2015)] At the beginning, I wanted to make a documentary. A friend of mine, Adrian Purcarescu, who is an actor and director, told me about a legend, according to which the people in his great grandparents' village had buried their fortunes before the arrival of the communists. I took a film crew with me, a specialist also joined us with a metal detector, and we all went to search for the treasure. We didn't find it, so I decided to make a fiction film. [2015]
