The March film at the Romanian Cinematheque is the poetic and visually evocative period drama Adela, by Mircea Veroiu, which won the Grand Prix at the 1985 San Remo Film Festival. Set in 1899, it is a story about one man's acceptance of middle age in the face of a longing for a younger companion. Dr. Codrescu (George Motoi) arrives in a town he used to know well and makes the acquaintance of Adela (Marina Procopie), a winsome young divorcee who had been a child the last time he saw her.
