Soldiers: Story from Ferentari – IMDb
Story from Ferentari is not only a film about some toxic romance. It is a journey that will carry you through the infamous sector of Ferentari.

The contrast between an emerging capital and the poverty of this preponderent rroma sector will give you a glimpse into the rroma culture in Romania and its struggles.
It reminded me of Ulrich Seidl’s Paradise: Love.
