Ioan Roxin

Romania’s English Queen tells the story of how Marie, the granddaughter of Queen Victoria, fought for Romania’s survival during the turbulent years of World War One. She dazzled the world’s leaders at the 1918 Paris Peace Conference and managed to double the size of her country. Her tale is one of political triumph and personal sorrow.

Composed of six unconventional vignettes, each one dealing with the late communist period in Romania, a narrative is told through its urban myths from the perspective of ordinary people. The title refers to the alluded "Golden Age" of the last 15 years of Ceaușescu's regime.
