a wise old lady. chaos of her nephew life. and the magic of good decisions. a nice comedy in which Mimi Enăceanu does a memorable role. not a special case - the social problems in Communist Romanian cinema was basic subject but in this case, a good script, remarkable actors makes all different. the humor is axis of this family comedy who reminds the flavor of Romanian fairy-tales but, in same time, the spirit of old people measure in life. Sebastian Papaiani is best choice for nephew who search to resist against the pressure of the good intentions of others and Adela Mărculescu does a nice role. sure, the best part of cast remains the children. but it is not a surprise. only virtue of a smart director.

the wise great-grandmother
Kirpianuscus21 April 2017
a social comedy like many others under the Comunist regime. humor, good actors, children, couple crisis. and a sort of Mary Poppins who repairs all, in impeccable manner. this is all. and enough for a film who seduce for the nice management of chaos, picturesque characters, remember of importance of family and a director who knows the basic tricks for a lovely comedy who, at the first sight, escapes from political pressure. so, a seductive film, useful for refresh memories and wake up old memories.
