Obeliscul 2014

1

A barren space. Sand and stone. Dried trees. Everything seems frozen. Strange, right in this deserted place, seemingly belonging to no one... AN OBELISK. The stone blocks animate the space? They almost speak. The dried trees come to life. We enter a fantastic zone where we discover primal creatures fiercely fighting for food. Everything that can be found becomes food. The saving food.

The film confronts the reality of cultural displacement and the search for identity, framed by my family’s own longing for the Romanian culture, absent in American surroundings. There Are No Fir Trees Here is a story about the spaces we inhabit and the yearning for a place that feels like home.
