Romanian production runs next month on cinema screens

Romanian production If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle, from Florin Serban, will premiere in country cinemas at the end of next month. The movie was included in the Berlin International Film Festival, which takes place from February 11-21 and competes alongside another 25 productions such as The Ghost Writer by director Roman Polanski and Shutter Island, the latest Martin Scorsese.

The film is about love and the teenage years, according to the director. It tells of Silviu, who spends four years in prison on the shores of the Danube. Just before his release, he finds out that his mother has returned home from a long period in Italy and wants to take his little brother away. He has only five days to come up with a solution. He also falls in love with a beautiful sociology who comes to the penitentiary as part of her course.
