Tatarbunar

Overview

A film-deconstruction of a propaganda cliché and a human experience of "existence through culture" in communism. In the midst of the transition process from the old tsarist structures and the integration of Bessarabia into the national state, Romania was subjected to permanent aggressions by the Soviets. The critical threshold of these Soviet challenges to Romania was reached in September 1924 in Tatarbunar, a small fair in Cetatea Albă county, inhabited by 70% Russians and Ukrainians. Every nation has a Tatarbunar!
