CLARA
CLARA
Trailer
Clara left her Romanian hometown, a fishing village by the Danube, to help a German family a few hundred kilometers further west and look after their little daughter. She leaves her 12-year-old son behind. Clara needs the money, but the work comes with a high price: estrangement from her own son and the loss of a close bond with him while caring for someone else's child. The Danube alone, which connects Clara's home village with her workplace, makes it painfully clear that both places are connected. The river that connects everything plays a fateful role over the course of the film in this German/Romanian co-production. CLARA addresses the fate of over 500,000 Romanians who work outside Romania and are often forced to leave their children behind.
