The Nervous System
Sistemul nervos
An old woman, Madame Nica, owns a small house into the rural area and
rents it from time to time to tourists. Her only pleasure is watching the
evening news presented by a handsome young man (alias Mircea Radu).
She has a crush on him and when she finds out that he might be having
problems with his enemies, she takes an insane decision to go to Bucharest
and try to protect her “little reindeer”. Once arrived in Bucharest she
goes to stay at her daughter’s house. From there she tries to write him letters
and fantasizes about meeting him face to face.
