Beyond America
Under an Eastern European totalitarian regime, a prominent dissident writer survives repression by resuming a submissive sexual relationship with her former lover. After their split-up years ago, he had joined the Secret Police in order just to take her back and provide the protection she needed. Struggling to preserve her humanity, she falls in love with a young platonic dreamer, a kind of rebel without cause, whom she initiate in literature and reinvents as a character capable to meet her own desires of freedom. BEYOND AMERICA is a love story and an action drama altogether, with archetypes of an aggressive, totalitarian society.
My Sexual Life
This is the story of a young woman, Dorina, working in a sex shop in Bucharest, after being forced to interrupt her studies to care for her parents. Because of her job, everyone considers her to be something other than what she is - a fragile and unhappy woman, forced to live a life she does not deserve and for which she is not ready. And soon, things get out of control. The story of Dorina may be the story of all of us who are leading a life, inside which we feel prisoners and which we do not deserve.
