Radio Metronom (2022) came from research meant for a documentary film. I have always believed that the shape and genre of a film come from the very story you want to tell. Ideas come first and form follows. I wanted to make a film about 1970s Romania, about young people, about that generation that searched for freedom where freedom actually was not there. A fiction feature seemed the best choice. But it was nonetheless a challenge for me, starting from other people's testimonies and turning them into an original, coherent story, with strong characters, adding emotion and tension to a simple story.
