\u201cPororoca\u201d tells the story of a happy family. The male character, Tudor, played by Bogdan Dumitrache, works for a telephony company and his wife, played by Iulia Lumanare, is an accountant. They have the life of a normal couple, without further cares except the inherent ones related to raising and educating their children: Maria, aged 5, and Ilie aged 7. On a Sunday morning, Tudor takes the children out in the park near their home, and in just a moment of lack of attention, the little girl disappears. Together with the other parents, the father looks for her in the area desperately, but to no avail. 30 minutes later Tudor calls the police and the little girl, Maria, is declared officially missing.<\/p>\n

Bogdan Dumitrache has admitted that this role has been the most complex one in his career: \u201cThe roles involving physical transformation are quite rare. I want \u2018Pororoca\u2019 to be seen by as many people as possible, I want it to be disseminated. I think that, for me, personally, this is a role of artistic maturity. I hope it is a launching pad for other roles. I believe that this is the most difficult and also the best role I have had so far.\u201d<\/p>\n
