Wedding in Oaș

„Nuntă în Oaș" („Wedding in Oaș") explores, with humour and candour, what the intergenerational communication is still lacking, the story of the Romanian migrating communities that strive to make a better living back home, the pressure of choosing a path for your future and what gender roles mean in a traditional community.
What is said to be the happiest day in a woman's life, her wedding day, becomes a dreamlike comedy with tragical accents in which the characters laugh and cry, get together and fall apart, learn about themselves and those that came before them, and even die. Highlighting the most grandiose and institutionalised traditional weddings in the unique region of Oaș, north-west Romania, „Nuntă în Oaș" sets out to be a dramatized anthropologic study about the transformations of the rural life and values in the Oaș Region, considered a diligent keeper of unaltered traditions.
