The hardships of a Romanian boy and his family from Bogdan Voda village were probably romanticised in this movie for American classrooms made in 1972 by director/cameraman, prof. a. Baskin.
Nicolae Ceaușescu was already in power since 1965. The boy's brother writes from Rumania:
"He was born in May 1959. His life was a farmer until 1986 after which he moved to town: After the 1989 revolution in Romania's situation was constantly changing and he decided to go to France in 1997 after many failing to leave the country for us to create a better life than the one he took it! But in August 1998, was found dead in the house where he lived in Paris." A tragic ending to this short life !
