The White Pond

The White Pond, Bucharest

Synopsis

Bucharest in 1813. The city gates were closed because of the increasing death toll of the black plague. Over thirty thousand souls were buried in a place called ‘Balta Albă’, the White Pond. The area later became a park, shrouded in mystery and superstition, avoided at nighttime even to this day.
The story of a man who has the gift of a healer, witnessed by his local Priest, which in turn becomes a struggle between the Church, the State and the manipulation of the media, on whether he should be silenced or celebrated.
A moving story of ordinary people who witness something extraordinary. It is at times, chilling, eerie, nostalgic and religiously uplifting.
A simple man graced by God, as he grieves for his departed wife, his failing health and dependence on his local Priest. The Priest has his own demons, as his history and deteriorating relationship with the Bishop, becomes apparent.
