A COUNTRY HERE, A COUNTRY THERE - Directed by Monica Heintz and Alin Rus (Germany, 2005, 57 minutes, in Romanian/Moldovan with English subtitles)
The documentary illustrates the intellectual and political debates and the everyday confusion linked to the Moldovan/Romanian identity in the republic of Moldova. The film exposes elements that determine the actual debate on national identity in Moldova (memories, Soviet legacies, economic situation, migration, mass media) and reveals new issues and concerns regarding the future of the Moldovan state. Romanian-speaking Moldovans who were publicly denying the Romanian identity through political actions are shown to have an unambiguous conscience of their Romanian self.
