TOTO ET SES SŒURS [TOTO AND HIS SISTERS], BY ALEXANDER NANAU (2014)

At the heart of a Romani family in disintegration emerges Totonel, 10 years old, nicknamed Toto. With passion, he learns to read, write, and dance. Amid the surrounding chaos, his two sisters try to maintain the fragile balance of the family. Alexander Nanau’s cinematic narrative captures, without pause and from a human perspective, the life of Toto and this family lacking everything except humor and love.
"Beyond the inexhaustible cheerfulness of the little boy, beyond his unexpected prize at the breakdance competition, it is in the adoption of a little brother by his older sister that the film secretes its most beautiful fairy tale. When, despite all the trials, a glimmer of hope appears in the miracle-free sky of Bucharest." — Adrien Dénouette, Critikat
In the presence of the filmmaker, screening followed by a discussion moderated by Séverine Danflous (Transfuge).
