Sergiu Negulici (Reniform Production, Abis Studio)
2016, Romania, 15’

A young man finds a drawing which is hiding a secret love letter written 70 years ago. After finding out that the author is still alive, the man goes on an unusual journey to meet the woman, who befriended many important Romanian artists at the beginning of the 20th century.

Mladenič najde risbo, ki skriva sedemdeset let staro skrivno ljubezensko pismo. Ko izve, da je njegova avtorica še vedno živa, se odpravi na nenavadno potovanje, da bi spoznal žensko, ki je v začetku 20. stoletja prijateljevala s številnimi pomembnimi romunskimi umetniki.
