The female lead role was chosen after an atypical casting. After they are sent the script to read, the actresses are invited to a discussion with the second director. They are filmed talking to him. In the limelight. In the presence of the team. Then, as if by accident, the conversation is interrupted. Reflectors - off. And the second director and his men leave the room. One by one, the ladies are left alone. Only with a video camera that continues to capture their movements. The emotions. The silences.
One realizes that, until then, she has been too theatrical and relaxes too much. Another flirts - on purpose - with the camera. One of them is embarrassed by the room and solitude. When she sees herself alone, the one who will become the protagonist of the film approaches the window of the room. She opens it. She stands on his toes. The high ledge reaches her breasts. He jumps to rest her elbows on it. Her legs remain in the air. From time to time, her bare ankles twitch - back. The woman looks out. To the birds. To the gas. To cockroaches. To the trees. And to the flowers. In spring. A scene with a silent woman. Childish. Maria Ploae. A mixture of sensuality, candor and abandon.
The child (Daniel Ionescu) was chosen after finding him among passengers at a train station. After the director Valeriu Jereghi looked for him - in vain - among the thousands of photos sent by aspirants for a role in his film.
