The Endless Shore

Directed by Mircea Săucan

In the summer of 1962, a soldier on leave and a girl from Moscow enjoy a brief but intense love affair on the shores of the Black Sea. Their love games mesh with the games of children on the beach; their dialogues are a mixture of Romanian and Russian, humorous and lyrical at the same time. But the soldier has to return to duty, and all that's left for the girl is the hope that the two will meet again some day. The movie was banned and never released in theaters in Romania, the premiere was in Israel, 1992.
