Somewhere in Palilula

Synopsis:

In the 60’s Romania, Serafim, a fresh graduate of medical school, is brought by a gloomy whim of destiny to the ghost town of Palilula. A quarantine area, a sanatorium, improbable hospital, a gynecological clinic in a settlement where no child is born. A community of Italians who forgot their language, but not the nostalgia of their canzonets...
