Synopsis
Nisipuri (The Village Called Sands)
Every year on August 29 ("since the world and the earth", says a local in the film), the village of Nisipuri is celebrating: there is a bâlci whose spirit has gone all over the south of the country. The locals are very proud of their town, at least until they come to the comparison of the past with the present, when the balance inevitably tilts in favor of the former term. The documentary captures—through hand-held footage and long shots (let's not forget that the cinematographer is Andrei Butica)—the day before the big day, the preparations, the actual event, and... the breaking of the fair.
