Love is Not an Orange
SYNOPSIS
SINOPSE
Through a montage of Moldovan family films, Otilia Babara shows the relationship between mothers who left home to find work after the fall of the Soviet Union, and their children. To keep in touch, the children record video messages, playfully talking to the camera, returning its gaze. Emotion and history intertwine in this eminently political tale.
