Veronica's Little Prince | Romania
Written by Dr. Catalina Florina Florescu

Synopsis - We meet Veronica alone in an institution after her failed attempt to end her life. But we leave Veronica hopeful, outside of that institution, accompanied by a friend, ready to live her life better/ more fully than before. Thus, Veronica, a former ballerina, chooses to learn to let go of her past and have a victorious, unending “recital” some place she did not ever dare to go before.
