is “a coming of age tale with supernatural elements” about two young sisters, says Mincan. It is set in 1989 in the last year of Romania under communism.

Atlas Of The Universe

is about a 10-year-old boy who embarks on a journey to find his missing shoe.“What this project enabled me to do as a scriptwriter was to write a screenplay in the vein of one of my favourite films, Kiarostami’s

Where Is The Friend’s House?,” Mincan explains. “I love to write, and sometimes I don’t think about thematic trends. I just start writing a story for the sheer pleasure of it.” It just so happened that both Radu and Paul loved the story.”
