Romania Grand Voyage workshop
with Radu Jude
<meta charset="UTF-8">On the first year of their Master degree, students embark on a “Grand Voyage” to discover the region and a filmmaker. In 2025, they went to Romania.
Nena, 40, lives in the valley in Ticino where she grew up. Giulia, an urbanite in her thirties, is visiting her family's village for the first time in order to conduct field research for her post-doctorate. Nena reluctantly acts as Giulia's research guide. Animosity grows quickly between the two. The protagonists discover that mysterious and murderous attacks are ravaging the valley they left behind. Panic-stricken, the two women head for a high-altitude refuge. But this respite is quickly replaced by heartbreak. The storm is close, and so are the and monsters. Giulia and Nena face each other in the midst of horror.
