Autoportretul unei fete cuminti
Self-portrait of a Dutiful Daughter
Cristiana is a 30-year-old woman, brought up in a “proper”, bourgeois
middle-class family. Her time is split between writing for her PhD in Earthquake Engineering, conversations with Alex and
Michelle, her two close friends and occasional, but eagerly awaited rendezvous with Dan, a married man with whom she is romantically
involved. After her parents move out of the family apartment, she decides to get a dog. It is something that she has wanted
ever since she was a child. Now that she lives on her own, she can finally fulfill this wish.
