Anişoara is a 15-year old girl from a small village in Moldova, situated in a picturesque valley between rolling hills. Alone with her old grandfather, Petru, and her little brother Andrei, life is calm but archaic. It is the last year of Anişoara's childhood in this valley, before she takes off into her adult life.
