The Land You Belong

Director:
Elena Rebeca Carini

Elena is an Italian girl born in Bucharest, Romania. She was adopted when she was only six months old and she is now about to turn 30. When she discovers that she has a brother, Gerard, adopted in Belgium, a pestering question returns: what determines who we are? To answer this question, Elena has a crazy idea: a road trip to Bucharest together with her new-found brother and her camera, to get to know him, but also the other Elena, the one she could have been if she had grown up in the place where she was born.
