written by Tuncer Cücenoğlu, directed by Petru Vutcărău
The Avalanche is a story about fear, but also about the past and the future, about the conservative tradition and change of mentalities. Tuncer Cücenoğlu created a distracted and symbolical history: in a closed community, with very rigid rules, someone could be murdered if endangers the others’ lives. The law that avoids death trough death brings up other questions: about the social ethics, about rusting in tradition, about dreaming for a free and unconstrained life. This is the plot here, but the theme could reverberate far away, even to the whopping realities of nowadays…
