LEMONADE

While working in the US on a temporary visa as a caretaker, Mara, a 30 year-old single mother from Romania, marries Daniel, an American. After the arrival of her son Dragos, everything seems to have fallen perfectly into place. When the process of getting a green card veers unexpectedly off course, however, Mara is faced with abuses of power on every level and forced to answer a dark question about herself – how far would you go to get what you want?

„Lemonade goes to a dark place we don’t usually visit when discussing the move to another country. We talk about those who dream of immigrating but never find the heart to do it – and about those who did immigrate and succeeded. The sadder stories seem to get lost on the border between these two territories, whose mentality Lemonade explores convincingly."
