GFF Illegitimate (Ilegitim)

Sure to ignite controversy, Adrian Sitaru’s intense, award-winning family drama unfolds in bruising verbal skirmishes and impossible dilemmas. Over a family meal, obstetrician Victor (Adrian Titieni) readily admits that he prevented women from having abortions during the Ceausescu era; abortion was illegal then and he considered it his duty to prevent the taking of a life. His children are horrified, especially daughter Sasha (Alina Girgore), but Sasha is carrying on an incestuous relationship with twin brother Romeo (Robi Urs): does she have the right to claim the moral high ground or judge anyone?
