"FUNNY SISTERS" Trailer (english) about happiness despite bitter times (romanian Documentary)

Can an ancient peasant civilization go unnoticed lost? Actually, it seems inconceivable, but it happens!
90 min, HDV

Sisters Maria and Ileana live in a "museum-like" home in a village in Maramure?. Their once numerous family now consists of just the two of them. Parents and siblings died one after the other while they, just helping each other, continue living as traditionally as possible: they weave, they work on the fields, they make bread, they cut wood, they breed pig to sacrifice at Christmas. Their destiny as the last representatives of the family, keeping up a whole household without complaining about anything, is an icon of the Romanian peasants' destiny. Smart, hard-working, full of life, ready to do a man's work, satisfied with little ("I just want to have what to eat today and tomorrow"), the sisters are charming characters with a caching optimism. A touching film about the disk of an era, accompanied by subtle smile.
