Where to watch Here...I Mean There (2012)

Story

Ani and Sanda grow up in Maramuresh with their grandparents while their parents work abroad in Spain, like many Romanian families seeking better opportunities. The family's plan to build a house together using earnings from Spain stretches on, but progress stalls over more than a decade. Director Laura Căpățână-Juller documents three years in the lives of these two girls as they navigate adolescence separated from their parents, capturing their personal journey with an intimate lens.
