A Shoulder To Cry On (2024)

Overview

A visit by an Indian filmmaker interrupts the life of Anica and Emil, a Romanian countryside couple. Santwana (the filmmaker) learns Romanian death songs from Anica (the funeral mourner) while sharing bread,potatoes,cheese and Grief. They can’t talk but they can sing. They can’t console each other with words but they share silences. While listening to the trains pass by in the mountains of the village called Romuli, a tale emerges of a unique and most humane connection, making us wonder, does grief need a language at all?
