After a great box office success with ‘Two Lottery Tickets’ (2016), celebrated Romanian director Paul Negoescu returns with his third feature, a bitter-sweet comedy that speaks about the way in which summer love can change one’s life. The film, written as a homage to Woody Allen, premiered at the Transilvania International Film Festival (TIFF) last year.
UK Premiere. Followed by Q&A with director Paul Negoescu.
Synopsis: Petru is a professor of mathematics at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest and leads a carefree life. He is in an open relationship with Irina, who overlooks that he sleeps with other women from time to time. But once Irina gets pregnant, Petru is forced to change his lifestyle and grow up, even if he is 42. One of his friends, who was always there for him, decides to write a book about his story.
