Production[]
Screenwriter and director Iulian Mihu held "long and resultful discussions" with George Călinescu about an adaptation of the novel . The writer said that he wanted the film to be made in the style of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, a musical film. He allegedly hummed a song that the screenwriter allegedly reproduced to composer Anatol Vieru.[1] But in fact, what Vieru uses in this song is a mode he has widely used in his earlier works from the sixties (Cello concerto n°1, Chamber Symphony, The Struggle against Inertia).The song was played by Aurelian Andreescu and was used before the credit titles in the beginning of the film.
