Self-Portrait of a Dutiful Daughter

Autoportretul unei fete cuminti, 1915, Ana Lungu, English Subtitles, 81 min

Cristiana is a 30-year-old woman, brought up in a “proper,” bourgeois middle-class family. Her time is split between writing for her PhD in Earthquake Engineering; conversations with Alex and Michelle, her two close friends; and occasional, eagerly awaited rendezvous with Dan, a married man with whom she is romantically involved. After her parents move out of the family apartment into a new house, she decides to get a dog. It is something that she wanted ever since she was a child, and now that she lives on her own, she can finally fulfill this wish.

—written by Ana Lungu
