Carmen
In Bucharest on a winter’s morning, a couple make love. Adina wants to move in with her boyfriend Radu as soon as possible. He, on the other hand, is slightly more reluctant but appears to simply tolerate her plans. Today is New Year’s Eve and Radu and Adina have a lot to do: the two have planned a visit to Adina’s parents followed by a party with friends. While buying last-minute gifts at the supermarket, Radu thinks he spots ex-girlfriend Nadja, who he has never forgotten. In one small moment, Radu’s insecurities about Adina come bubbling to the surface. No sooner have the corks begin to pop, the relationship comes to an abrupt end. This is followed by the perfectly timed offer from Radu’s friend Alex to hit the town with him and his friends. Radu accepts the offer in the hope that Nadja is also out. Director Paul Negogescu draws a portrait of Radu with precision and subtle irony – and captures the atmosphere of a New Year’s evening with great authenticity.

En 1933, Primo Carnera (el "Gigante Bueno") fue el primer y único italiano que consiguió el título de Campeón Mundial de Boxeo de los Pesos Pesados. Pero antes de alcanzar la gloria, Carnera había llevado una vida llena de dificultades. Su vida inspiró varios libros y películas como “Más dura será la caída” y “Réquiem por un campeón”. Después de trabajar como forzudo en un circo, empezó a boxear sin tener ningún tipo de técnica: ganaba los combates por k.0. En Estados Unidos, su representante, un hombre vinculado a la mafia, se dedicó a amañar sus combates, lo que hizo que Carnera perdiera la simpatía del público y de los medios de comunicación.
