Murometii 3one of the most anticipated Romanian stories, launches the official trailer and reveals to the general public the most important dates of the release calendar in the cinema. The action of the film takes place in 1954, a trying year for Niculae Moromete who becomes overwhelmed by the tumultuous love with a married woman, the crisis of political consciousness and the loss of confidence in the literary guild. The providential appearance in his life of a young poet offers him a way out of his professional and personal dilemmas, inspiring him to publish the novel Moromeţii.
The film will be released in theaters across the country on November 22. Before the official release, the distributor Transylvania Filmtogether with the film team, will organize one of the largest Caravanes in the country, the film will arrive in over 50 citiesmany of them without a cinema hall. The tour de force that will accompany the cinema release of the third part crowns a cinematic journey of almost four decades by the first domestic family saga in Romanian cinema.

This is a major effort, but we are glad to be able to present the finale of the Moromet trilogy to the public. We will prepare several special events in Bucharest as well, the gala premiere will take place on November 12, at the Ion Caramitru hall of the National Theatre, we will return soon with more details.

“It is an image that covers the behavior and attitude of Marin Preda in the era, in political situations. I tried to understand, to intuit his itinerary and I tried to illustrate this essential journey, but using fiction. I liked the idea of making a film about those times that are now largely ignored; many events that happened then or soon after, catalyzed by those moments, influenced the decades that followed, and we still feel their repercussions.”said the director.
