Plot summary
Moldova in the early 90s: Dima, a tractor driver, wants to be enrolled in the military troops to take part in the local war on the Transnistrian border. Vasea, an Afghan war veteran, joins him. While on their way to the front, they find a carbonized body. The authorities ignore them and won't help them to identify the body. Dima and Vasea decide to bury the corpse according to the proper Christian rituals, but not before setting out, together with the body, on an absurd journey to discover his identity.

When this movie was coming out, they were advertising it to seventh heaven and back. I kinda missed it. When it did so well in theatres, they've decided to do a second screening. Again, I wanted to watch it, but couldn't get off my bum. Then my good friend came to town and was like "Hey, let's watch Carbon?" and so we did. It felt so special to me, I see her as my sister, because we're both born in 1992 (when the film is set), at just a week's difference, and here we were, watching it. Then I walked her home and as I was returning home myself, at 2 AM, I came across a woman with a carriage, walking in the rain. She told me a sob story about her traumatic childhood and how she tried to migrate to Germany, but her German boyfriend at the time gave her the boot after she got pregnant, and how she's returned to Moldova but was essentially homeless. We've been walking around town, looking for somewhere for them to spend the night. I ended up leaving her at a hostel. Yeah, this film is definitely special. :D

Also, I could make subtitles for this, or even an amateur dubbing (unlikely, but I could try). Who do I contact about it?
