10 years ago, production of the documentary Cabbage, Potatoes and Other Demons began. That documentary aimed to delve into rural Romanian reality, starting from a village located 30 km from Bucharest. More precisely, in Lungulețu, where 1,000 farmers waited year after year in the local market to sell their over 100,000 tons of cabbage, with the options of either selling for nothing or burying their harvest.
After a year spent with the residents of Lungulețu, working side by side with them, director Șerban Georgescu managed to discover why these farming families, apparently prosperous and with a chance of having a good life, lived on debt, although they had the tools of a successful business in their hands – fertile land, modern machinery, rich harvests.
10 years have passed since then, and the natural desire to find out how the characters in the documentary have evolved leads the director once again to see the land he worked with his hands and the stories that have been woven around him.
