 All the scripts I get involved with have an essential story , and give birth to emotions that reach a lot of people 's hearts . So , in this case , the thing that motivated me was the subject itself , the thoughts and emotions of a 13 year old kid who falls in love . I never had any interest to describe a social reality - like prostitution , for example - and the screenplay does not concentrate at all at ' scanning ' the problems of our society . The new , innovating element consists of the child 's emotions , what he feels and the human relations between the two characters . The reality of Romania is there only for decorative purposes , and I am against people struggling to present the ' Romanian dirt ' through movies .
