A soldier follows a woman. Their love story begins. Two years later, the woman becomes a refugee, the soldier is called to the battlefield and their love story dissolves in the war.2014. During a long interview, the woman remembers her past. The secrets from a forgotten time are revealed for the last time.What remains from a love story after three quarters of a century and a World War?Description:Inspired by the estate of a Romanian photographer in which 5,000 glass plate negatives from the 1930s to the 1950s survived undiscovered for a long time, a touching love story evolves. In 1939, Anna Florea meets the young soldier Jean Mihail in her home village in Bukovina. A moonshine kiss seals their affection. But all too soon, Jean is ordered to the frontline. His passionate letters keep the connection alive. But when Anna must flee the site, the contact breaks off.Their great love is fragile, damaged by war and time – just like the old studio and everyday photographs this animated documentary uses to illustrate optimism and impending loss. Anna Florea herself narrates the film: in retrospect, at the age of 91. Her warm and gentle voice reanimates the memories seemingly stored in these pictures. Those “frozen” on the photographic plates begin to move, are made to glow in oil-on-glass overpaintings, blossom and take us with them into the past (Franka Sachse - DOK Leipzig).Awards:DOK Leipzig / International competition animated film / Germany / 2024 / mephisto 97,6 Audience AwardIDFA / Youth competition 13+ / The Netherlands / 2024 / Jury Special mentionIsmailia International film festival / international short film competition / Egypt / 2025 / Jury Prize in animationParis International Animation Film Festival / France / 2025 / First Film AwardFestival de Film de Femmes Creteil / France / 2025 / UPEC Jury Award - Best Short Film & Audience Award - Best Foreign Film Interaction doc / Serbia / 2025 / Youth Jury Award & Audience AwardBeyond Borders Kastellorizo International Documentary festival / µicro competition / Greece / 2025 / Silver Phoenix Award
