I really love this scene I found on YouTube from The Oak – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsW1sbWUZaE – it depicts a conversation between Razvan Vasilescu’s character, Mitica, a doctor, and Nela, a school teacher played by Maia Morgenstern. Mitica is reading to Nela from a diary of one of his former patients, Titi. He entrusted his diary to Mitica before undergoing surgery knowing that his chances of survival are minor. Among a series of utopian ideas, and plans to start a cult-like organization, there’s also a note for Mitica in which Titi asks to be buried in the small village where he was born in a traditional Christian ceremony. The conversation is cut short by an agent of the state’s secret police, the Securitate, which is after the diary, as he fears it may contain ideas that may become dangerous is spread.
