 In a suburb of Bucharest , a 13 @-@ year @-@ old boy , Andrei ( Gabriel Huian ) , together with some of his friends , watches the prostitutes ' show every night from a rooftop and how they are being taken by drivers . The boy falls in love with one of the girls , called Marilena ( Mădălina Ghiţescu ) , and finds out that he needs a decent sum of money in order to approach her . Thus , he steals his father 's ( Gabriel <unk> ) salary and goes to the prostitutes ' meeting place . Marilena 's pimp ( Andi Vasluianu ) is also present , and only agrees to send Marilena and another prostitute with the boy to a nearby pub , where the Rom Elvis is singing ( played by the singer Elvis Romano , who translated Elvis Presley 's lyrics into his own language ) . The prostitutes play with Andrei , telling him that he needs a car in order to date them , then they leave . The boy asks Marilena for her phone number , and she writes something in his hand .
