Bucharest Identity Card

A provincial young girl, a farming engineer, does not want to return to the countryside on graduating, but stay in the capital. But she needs a Bucharest identity card to do this. Her solution is to "buy" a husband...

Directed by Virgil Calotescu, Bucharest Identity Card leans on a strong ensemble — Mircea Diaconu, Catrinel Dumitrescu, Ștefan Mihăilescu-Brăila — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1982.
