Ryna
Ruxandra Zenide
16-year-old Ryna lives with her parents and grandfather in a small community along the Danube Delta that wavers between tradition and material aspirations. She was brought up as a boy by her father, and works in his garage as a mechanic. In her free time she goes out with her camera and takes photos or drags her father home from his drunken nights out on the town.
