Almost Heroes
Aproape Eroi
Synopsis
Dragoș is returning from abroad to visit Vlad, his little brother who is celebrating his eighteen birthday. Not wanting
to stay long, Dragoș will embark with Vlad in a journey of rediscoveries – his old neighborhood, Vampire, the lost
childhood friend and the many things unsaid between them, Mari, an unfulfilled love and Alexander, a former
sportsman who is waiting for a kidney transplant. “Almost Heroes” is an urban drama with a strong coming of age
element, a story split in chapters and a generational portrait of the young Romanians born after 1990.
