Description

After mistakenly buying two shoes for the right foot, Filip, a ten-year-old boy, sets off on a journey to find the left one. Ahead of him lies an adventure in a world poised on the edge between reality and magic, and the chance to discover a few truths about himself — and about the universe he is part of.

Returning to the Siskel for the first time since the pandemic, the Romanian Film Festival (ROFest. Trends) aims to bring recent acclaimed Romanian films to Chicago to promote Romanian contemporary cinema among the American public and, specifically, within the Romanian community. It encourages enrichment and exchange through various creative expressions of social, historical, and cultural aspects that stem from Romanian settings.
