That Trip We Took with Dad
Directed by Anca Miruna Lazarescu
Produced by Filmallee, Strada Film
A bittersweet road-trip drama set during Cold War Eastern Europe that balances family tenderness with ideological conflict and the weight of aging.
Romania, 1968. Two very different brothers. Mihai is a secret police informant, Emil is a dedicated dissident. When they have the opportunity to have their ailing father’s eyes operated on in East Germany, the three set out on a moving odyssey.
