Synopsis
An inexperienced film crew is trying to make a documentary about Toni Oniga, a "neighborhood legend." Because it is untraceable, Rebeca (the director), Iulia (the cameraman) and Florin (the sound engineer) meet many acquaintances of the character. They all confess that Toni helped them in one way or another, but he remains an enigma even after meeting with the film crew. One of the first mock documentaries (docucomedy) in our filmography, captures those emotions that filmmakers experience in front of a very tender subject, which they are not sure how to approach. It's the story of people tormented by the need to assert themselves. Their drama is the drama of the creator in the face of uncertainty.
