Nema Porec is comically playful and at the same time imbued with truth, and it draws its inspiration from real events.
In 2008, they filmed the film Nunta mută, which literally means silent wedding, the screenplay was written by Adrian Lustig and Horatiu Malaele. The story is comically playful but imbued with truth, cheerful but bizarre, shows the absurdity of life in the communist past and draws on real events from the semi-past. It depicts the Romanian countryside on the other side of the Iron Curtain, where two young lovers decide to have a happy and lavish wedding in a small town.
Then the news of the death of "comrade" Stalin resounds, happy events are forbidden, and the villagers adapt to the new situation in fear. But the wedding has to be and it happens, the bride and groom break the chains and celebrate love in a loud atmosphere. Power interferes with joy, rebellion is smothered in blood.
”A depiction of the good old days, which were not just good after all, along with a refined sense of diametrically opposed emotions. A story about some people who have to prove themselves again and again, but at the same time submit to a repressive government, a government to which the human imperative is as alive as a clot in the bloodstream. A story about some people who are actually ourselves." they wrote in the presentation.
