(SUNT O BABA COMUNISTA)
In partnership with the Romanian Cultural Institute in London and the Embassy of Romania in Ireland on the occasion of Romanian Cultural Days in Dublin, the IFI welcomes director Stere Gulea to present his latest film, the funny and poignant I’m An Old Communist Hag. Veteran actress Luminita Gheorghiu plays Emilia, whose quiet life with husband Tucu is disturbed by the sudden arrival of her daughter from the U.S., with American fiancée in tow. While Emilia is at first worried about how best to present her home to the glamorous American, she quickly realises that life under capitalism has its own particular problems.
