Based on the true story of an impoverished, unemployed mother of seven living under subhuman conditions in a cave-like basement of a block of flats in newly post-communist Romania. When her drunken husband loses his job and eventually goes away, her sad reality gets even bleaker as she struggles to support her children.
first off i would like to say that i never liked romanian movies..but this one made me realize that i could be missing a lot. I was shocked so to say. It is basically a romanian tale which appeared on the screen with the help of a romanian vision.
The story is sad but yet funny by it's tragedy. One woman corrupted by society to sell herself so she can take care of her children.
I'm glad that romanian movies appear on IMDb, and i hope as many of you can watch them. Maria really makes you think about the reality around us.
