My Beautiful Dacia

Filmmakers Julio Soto Gurpide and Stefan Constantinescu, known for their visually inventive and socially insightful works, invite audiences to explore the story of Romania’s transformation through one of its most iconic symbols in the thought-provoking documentary My Beautiful Dacia.

The film follows the legendary Dacia, a car that captured the imagination of generations, as it moves through the streets, villages, and families of post-communist Romania. From nostalgic memories of the past to the aspirations of a new generation, the Dacia becomes a lens to witness social change, personal stories, and the collision between tradition and modernity.

Through intimate interviews, clever visual storytelling, and a touch of irony, My Beautiful Dacia turns a simple automobile into a powerful symbol of resilience, adaptation, and the human desire to connect with memory and identity.

Directed by Julio Soto Gurpide and Stefan Constantinescu, the documentary celebrates the way ordinary objects can tell extraordinary stories, capturing both humor and the bittersweet realities of a society in transition.
