Waiting for August

Georgiana Halmac, the eldest daughter of her family, is turning fifteen this winter. She lives with her six siblings in a social housing condo on the outskirts of Bacau (Romania). Their mother Liliana, an economic migrant in Torino, will not be back till the summer. During mother's absence, Georgiana is catapulted into the role of new head of the family. Her adolescence is brutally cut short, when she becomes responsible for her brothers and sisters.
