Wedding in Basarabia moves into postproduction.

By FNE Staff
    The romantic comedy Wedding in Basarabia, a Romanian/Moldovan/Luxembourg co-production by Napoleon Helmis, is now in postproduction.

    The project was developed with the support of CineLink Sarajevo and was shot in 2008 in Kishinev, Republic of Moldova.

    The film is a co-production between Mediana Communication- Romania, OWH TV Studio- Moldova and Donat Etienne- Luxembourg with the support of CNC Romania and PHARE- PreMedia Support.

    The story centers on a newlywed couple expecting a baby, who don't have money to buy their own home. The pair decide to have a second marriage in her native Basarabia (the corner of Moldova where it borders Russia) where they could receive abundant presents of cash.

    The second wedding becomes a competition between the two sides: Romanians and Bassarabians. Different customs, traditions, political backgrounds, points of reference and specific behaviours compete against each other. Caught in between, the groom and the bride soon to discover that their instincts, education and vanity emerging, and their love fading.
