Synopsis
Every year on August 29 (“since the beginning of times”, as a local puts it), the Sands village is celebrating: there is a carnival there, famous in all the country. The villagers are so proud of it, at least until they get to compare the present with the past, when they inevitably longing for the past.
The documentary watches – through lengthy tracking shots (let’s not forget that the cinematographer is Andrei Butică) – the eve of the grand day, the preparations, the event in itself and… the end of the party.
