Georgiana is turning fifteen this winter. She lives with her six siblings in a social housing condo on the outskirts of Bacau (Romania). Their mother Liliana, an economic migrant in Torino, will not be back till the summer. During mother's absence, Georgiana is catapulted to the role of new head of the family. Her adolescence is brutally cut short, when she becomes responsible for her brothers and sisters. Caught between puberty and responsibilities, she moves ahead improvising. Phone conversations with her Mom are her only guidelines. Intimate scenes from the daily life of Georgiana and her siblings will show us-uncensored, in fly-on-the-wall style- how real events are experienced and interpreted with great imagination by these children. One is bound to be amazed by their great ingenuity, while also realizing how fragile their daily balance is.
Leave your thoughts about Waiting for August.
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlWhat's perhaps most moving in Waiting for August, a quiet film of weight and joy, is its sense of desperate normalcy. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohThe Halmacs are a scrappy, lively bunch, fueled by the antic energy of its youngest members, and Mihal's lens lingers lovingly on them. Perhaps too much. The film would greatly benefit from tighter editing... |

| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisSoft in tone and muted in color, Waiting for August is a child’s-eye view of one family — among many in today’s Romanian economy — rising to the challenge of living without parents. |
