Constantin si Elena plot

In a Romanian village, an elderly couple has been happily married for almost fifty-five years. Constantin and Elena know that life is finite, but are content with all that has passed. They fill their days with chores around the house, church attendance and the reception of welcome visitors, not to mention a nap every now and then. Everything these oldies in love do is slow: helping each other get dressed, climbing a ladder and weaving beautiful tapestries. They often sing old Romanian songs, or Constantin's old battle songs from the army. Constantin and Elena are not afraid of death, and practically talk about it. They are proud of what they leave behind and happy with their love. But they regret that they have so little time together. Constantin: "With one eye I cry, with the other I laugh." Director Andrei Dascalescu followed the loving couple for a year.
