The Queer Palm of the Festival de Cannes goes to Romania - Three kilometers to the end of the world by director Emanuel Pârvu

What is parental love capable of, how far would parents go in order to protect their children, deciding what is the best for them. This is one of the topics of the new film Emanuel Parvu.

The other one is the pressure of the society rejecting what they decided to be the norm
