名称:托托和他的姐姐们 又名:Toto and His Sisters 年代:2015 类型:纪录片 语言:罗马尼亚语 国家:罗马尼亚 / 匈牙利 / 瑞士 / 加拿大 导演:亚历山大·讷讷乌 编剧:亚历山大·讷讷乌 演员:Hovarth Ilie Nicusor Gabriel Petre / 安德烈·维奥莱塔·佩特 / Ana-Maria Badulescu Petre / Siminica Badulescu Petre / Nicoleta / Ilie / Sile Petre / Nicu 剧情:Toto and his two elder sisters come from a Roma family of junkies and drug dealers. Their troubled mother is again in prison, and little Toto is again waiting for her to come back. A tender, subtle observation of childhood, family relations and love. Non-sentimental and heartbreaking documentary.
The camera is there when the fatherless Roma children visit their mother in prison. She’s been sentenced for selling drugs. It's also there when the two uncles, who now have to look after young Toto (10) and his sisters Andreea (14) and Ana (17), shoot heroin in their cramped apartment in Bucharest. And when Ana breaks her promise and starts using again.
The documentary immerses us (without comment) in the intense life of Andreea in particular. Like a surrogate mother, she tries to keep Ana and Toto on the rails. Sometimes she expresses her feelings in front of the camera in a video diary.
Hope comes from Romanian institutions: a training course that uses tolerance to help the semi-illiterate Andreea and completely illiterate Toto focus on the lessons; an orphanage that offers a safer haven than the filthy drug den at home; and above all a hip-hop dance group that taps hidden talents in Toto. With Critics' Talk on Wed 28-1 in the lobby.
