On a hot summer day, Vasile, a 50-something-year old peasant, refuses to accompany his wife Lucretia to a religious ceremony and finds a good excuse: he has to finish the ditch in front of their house to avoid paying a fine. Scared by the hard work ahead of him, he tries desperately to find somebody to help him. Petre, a Gypsy young man seems to be the right person. But what will be Lucretia’s reaction?

Adrian Silisteanu graduated Cinematography in Bucharest, while also studying Digital Cinematography at The National Audiovisual Institute in Paris. Romanian Director Adrian Sitaru’s film debut “Hooked” was also Silisteanu’s first film as Director of Photography. He shot the next four feature films of Sitaru and many shorts. He worked as cinematographer with the well known Romanian theater director Silviu Purcarete for his first motion picture “Somewhere in Palilula” and he was cinematographer for the two seasons of Romanian version of HBO TV show “In treatment”. In 2012, Adrian Silisteanu directs his first short film, “The Ditch” and 4 years later, in 2016, makes ''Written/Unwritten''.
