This is a very slow film, always repetitive,the story turn back all the time. I know that Romania is a poor land, and all countries with poverty and ignorance has place to hysterical religions. But I can't believe that a young that lived in Germany could be so weak in middle of a priest and a lot of subdued nuns. The worst thing is the end. Maybe the message is: a so stupid story deserve no appropriate end. The two principal actresses are convincing but the nuns are terrible, and the priest has no force, no conviction. The long moments with a frozen image are terrible. The film is very long, and we feel that this film is longer than his duration. Opera's resume: a bad film.
