The Wood Cutters

Set against the backdrop of a mountaintop during winter, The Wood Cutters follows a group of forestry workers as they navigate their emotional landscapes. The isolation fosters a deep exploration of their loves and longings, as well as vital questions about life and existence.

Cărmăzan's directorial approach introduces elements of magical surrealism, a style he would further develop in his later works. The film features performances from Şerban Ionescu, Ioana Drăgan, and Remus Mărgineanu, who portray characters facing both internal and external challenges in their secluded environment.
