Journals of Hrib

Letopisețul lui Hrib

Directing: Slavomir Popovici

Synopsis

The Journals of Hrib returns to the topic of material heritage: an self-taught peasant opens a museum dedicated to local traditions in his home in rural Bukovina. Today we know that the museum did not survive its custodian, who passed away shortly after the fall of the Ceaușescu regime. The pressures and ambitions brought on by the new capitalist order of the 1990s quickly led to the museum's dissolution, alongside the destruction of the plants, factories and film studios left behind by the former regime.
