A year in the life of a family living in a typical courtyard in the center of Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, in the 1990s: Zina (45) lives here with her husband Victor (48) and their daughter Eva (16), struggling – like the other residents – to ensure her family’s financial survival. Through the family’s eyes, we experience a country in transition following the fall of the Iron Curtain.

Following the premiere of TRANSIT TIMES, there will be a discussion with director and screenwriter Ana-Felicia Scutelnicu, cinematographer Javier Palicio, actresses Marina Palii and Arina Mura, and producer Jakob D. Weydemann.

An event in cooperation with Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, Chaussee 36, and the Moldovan Embassy.
