She proceeds to an in-depth soul-searching that helps her discover the power of faith and steels her to put up resistance.

- DirectorSerban MarinescuStarsStefan IordacheGheorghe DinicaDorel VisanThe film is an adaptation of a novel by Marin Preda, a controversial novelist who died during the Communist rule soon after the book was published.

- DirectorAndrei BlaierStarsGheorghe DinicaFlorina CercelCoca BloosAndrei Blaier's film catches the last days of The Stone Cross a low class brothels area that became some kind of an institution in the landscape of Bucharest before the Communist period, doomed to destruction under the new rules of proletarian morals that the Communists were trying to impose. The idea could be the start of a great film, with the prostitution being seen not so much from its destructive and exploitation perspective, but rather as a form of freedom in a time when the whole society was falling under the rule of propaganda, hypocrisy, and repression. In a world due to fall under tyranny for the coming decades prostitution becomes a metaphor of the old more free way of life.
