Synopsis
Directed by a 16 year old teenager from Bârlad (Romania), the film is Elena’s attempt to discover the influence of The Factory (The Bârlad Bearing Factory) on the life of her family. The name of the Factory was constantly present in her home, which makes Elena realize that it was the main income source for the family.
However, times change and the name of the Factory is rarely mentioned by the father, who has already found a different job, and by the mother who found work in Italy a while ago. Elena takes advantage of her mother’s visit home for Christmas to find answers to questions that bother her.
