“A film with a cast of natural and authentic actors, with a montage highly serving the screenplay, a steady hand and mindful of details direction, a humour rising out of vital circumstances, a film reminding us the fact that the sound of a trumpet might resume the fragile netting of family relations”, said the jury, which brought together actors Alina Ilea and Alexandru Papadopol and director Razvan Georgescu.

Life is a Trumpet is a comedy about one wedding and two families whose functioning co-existence comes into question when a secret from the past rises to the surface.
