Most of the Gypsy population of Clejani, a village located some 50 km away from Bucharest, traditionally consists of musicians going back for many generations. The film shows how the musicians relate to daily life and the way their perception of reality influences their music. Firm belief in superstitions, the unavoidable blows of fate, communication with the dead, become the sources of inspiration and expression, of joy and sorrow. Alexandra Gulea’s unconventional documentary takes us on a musical journey to the origins of romanian gypsy music.

"Aflați despre mine..." stands as a quintessential social documentary from the perspective of 1980s filmmakers, delving into the effects of labor migration from agriculture to urban industry. Filmed in bachelor accommodations, it captures the intimate confessions of residents, offering faces and voices to the societal shifts in socialist times. The documentary, set against a backdrop of dormitory life, features a nuanced soundtrack blending informal interviews with the monotony of daily routines. Panning from window to window, the camera reveals the aspirations of temporary dwellers dreaming of a future beyond provisional living and aiming to settle into homes of their own.
