Meticulously made, a personal documentary about the Romanian village of Sulina in the Danube Delta. Once a prosperous trading town, it has fallen prey to communist decline and post communist confusion. Ten years after the fall of Ceaucescu, its inhabitants still live in extreme poverty. Despite their desperate lot, there is room for dreams and humor.
