General audience
Performance in Romanian with English subtitles
Today I went to a dog shelter close to the city. Alongside all the actors. To document various parts for the performance. A few hours of love shared with those dogs. Too few hours. A photo session. Filming. Hopes for dogs. And, in the end, the abandonment. Each to his own. But at the evening rehearsals nobody was able to work anything. A part fo my actors had remained at the shelter.” (Radu Afrim, during the rehearsals).
