About Anatomy of a Departure
A family who emigrated to Germany, escaping from Nicolae Ceausescu's dictatorship in Romania, recalls a world without opportunities or hope for the future, of ever-present fear and a constant struggle for survival. They look back on what made them exchange their home for the promise of freedom in an uncertain future.
Directed by Serban Oliver Tataru, Anatomy of a Departure leans on a strong ensemble — Adriana Tataru, Marius Tataru, Serban Oliver Tataru — 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 documentary titles of 2012.
