POROROCA
One sunny morning at the playground, five-year-old Maria and her brother Ilie are running around with lots of other children. Their father, Tudor, is there, too, drinking coffee and making phone calls. It's a happy family life — until, suddenly, the unimaginable happens: Maria disappears and does not return. In the face of unbearable pain, Tudor and his wife Cristina search for the missing piece to the puzzle of their daughter's disappearance.
