I started watching this documentary with optimism and wonder. What an original , unique boy, with his unusual dreams and identification with Rumania.

He reminded me so much of myself as a lonely teenage girl many, many years ago with a head stuffed full of dreams of past times, poetry and loving the mystery of Eastern Europe ( in my case Russia was my fascination).

I was totally unprepared for the sudden ending .

I wept not just for the loss of this young life but also for his parents who lost a part of themselves. And who were brave enough to let their precious only son to follow his dreams.

A beautifully made documentary but one I found extremely painful.
