“The documentary gathers, with measure and rigor, with sensitivity and empathy (both 'sprinkled' – as they say – with a cracked humor, but still not slipping into cynicism or revolt), with tenderness and artistic devotion, all this unbearable face of misery and suffering, cast in a remarkable and encouraging film about not giving up.” (LiterNet) or “Şerban Georgescu invites the audience on an intimate journey into the lives of women in difficult situations, revealing the determination to redefine their destinies in a society marked by inequalities.” (Modern Times Review) are some of the words critics have used to describe our daily bread.
The documentary was very warmly received by the spectators present at the preview, at the end of the screening at the Peasant Museum Cinema, the applause resounded for minutes, being accompanied by tears and smiles alike from the almost full hall, reinforcing the words of Oana Muntean, the executive producer of the film: “I would like this documentary to change in those who will go to see it especially the perception of those around them. We too easily label and judge without the slightest interest in understanding how and why. I think it's a film that can open eyes and hearts.”
In the week of March 15 – 21, the documentary will run in Bucharest (Cinema Union), Cluj (Cinema Arta), Galați (Cinema Ion Manole) and Sibiu (Cinegold). Full program: https://bit.ly/Prog15-21Martie
