Synopsis
“Wedding in Bessarabia” is a story of a young couple who recently got married in Romania. He is a young conductor from Bucharest and she is a gifted pianist from the Republic of Moldova. One day, they decide to have another wedding in Moldova, hoping to get the money to pay the account for a new apartment. The movie exploits the difference of traditions and habits between Romania and Bessarabia, and a sort of a competition which arises between the families involved.

Reviews
‘The director brilliantly brings humour to the rather serious historical grudge between those who now represent different nations (though speaking the same language).’
‘A Charmingly Challenging Comedy… the film is full of delightful situational humour and is well-paced and skilfully edited…’
