Short summary

Forgotten places of Bucharest, old and new, come to life.
In January 2007, Bucharest, after Romania's adhesion to the European Union, as full member state. Past and present, kitsch and value, fancy cars and homeless people, glass and concrete versus old buildings with shriveled walls that make one think about the '30s, or simply about Venice, they all generate a special vibe, they create an eclectic appearance. Capturing twelve months, 4 seasons and the hottest year in the history of Romania - a walk through a city of dreams, despair, hope and life!

    Alexandru Stanescu is an independent filmmaker that has a sense of forgotten beauty and history. His film is a journey through a city ravaged by a political system that didn't love people, neither their accomplishments. For the watchers that don't know anything about this Eastern European Capital, Bucharest is not Budapest and it is not a Bulagrian city! Before the Second World War, Bucharest was a gem of a city, known as "Little Paris". During the Romanian Communist regime, old parts of the city were demolished and replaced with new districts without personality. I can't wait another great documentary from Alex Stanescu! I hope his curiosity and imagination never slow down.
