SEEFest 2012 Highlight of the Day

HELLO! HOW ARE YOU? (Buna! Ce face?)

Directed by Alexandru Maftei

Buna! Ce face?
Gabriel and Gabriela have been happily married for 20 years but the physical attraction is no longer there. Is this all life has to offer? After independently of one another they discover the same internet chat room and begin a secret romance online, they both fall in love … not knowing they have actually found each other. As things get more passionate and exciting, these two basically decent people struggle with a major guilt trip. Even more confused is their adolescent and sexually very active son Vladimir, when he finds out that his parents also have desires. One day an encounter of the virtual lovers becomes inevitable…Alissa Simon of Variety notes that the film is the “antithesis of the grim naturalism of the best-known new Romanian cinema” and “feels like a breath of fresh air, proving that even more commercial films can deliver emotional epiphanies”.
