The acclaimed Romanian documentary TATA is set to debut on HBO Max on October 3, 2024, after making an impressive mark on the international festival circuit. Directed by investigative journalist Lina Vdovîi in collaboration with filmmaker Radu Ciorniciuc, the project has already garnered widespread recognition for its intimate storytelling and powerful social themes.

A Story Spanning Borders and Generations

Shot across Italy, Moldova, and Romania, the documentary follows a deeply personal journey in which a daughter confronts generational cycles of violence while facing the scars of her own past. At its core, TATA is an emotional investigation into the complexities of family dynamics, workplace exploitation, and inherited trauma.

The narrative takes shape when Lina, a journalist from Moldova, receives a troubling video from her father, a migrant worker in Italy. In the message, he reveals bruises on his arms, claiming they were the result of abuse from his employer. This unsettling discovery compels Lina to look deeper into her family history of violence and control, ultimately transforming the film into both a personal and universal story about resilience and healing.

From Festivals to Streaming Audiences

TATA first premiered in 2024 at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), where it stood out as the only Romanian documentary featured that year. Since then, it has been screened at more than 25 international festivals, earning seven prestigious awards along the way. Notable recognitions include honors at the Krakow Film Festival (Poland), FIPADOC (France), and the Trieste Film Festival (Italy). The strong reception has cemented TATA as one of Romania’s most important documentary films in recent years.

HBO Max Endorsement and Impact

According to Hanka Kastelicova, Vice President of Documentaries at HBO Max, the film addresses urgent issues that resonate far beyond Romania’s borders:

“This profoundly moving story highlights the urgent realities of family abuse and workplace exploitation. We hope it encourages broader conversations that can inspire meaningful change and help dismantle cycles of trauma.”

Director Lina Vdovîi expressed her gratitude for the platform’s backing, emphasizing that HBO supported the project from its earliest development phase. She noted that after an intensive festival journey, the film’s upcoming premiere on HBO Max represents the start of a new stage, ensuring it will reach wider international audiences.

A Global Collaboration

The film’s production was spearheaded by Monica Lăzurean-Gorgan through Manifest Film, with international co-production partners including Corso Film (Germany), 100% (Netherlands), and HBO Max, alongside support from organizations such as the Romanian Film Center, Eurimages, MDR/ARTE, the Netherlands Film Fund, and Al Jazeera Documentary. Global distribution is managed by Autlook Filmsales.

Why TATA Matters

The Romanian documentary TATA is more than a personal story; it’s a mirror reflecting broader societal struggles around violence, exploitation, and intergenerational trauma. By bringing this story to HBO Max, Vdovîi and Ciorniciuc open the door for global viewers to engage with themes that remain pressing in many societies today.

As the October 3 HBO Max premiere approaches, TATA promises to spark dialogue and challenge audiences to think critically about the resilience of families, the costs of migration, and the urgent need to break destructive cycles for future generations.
