MILK TEETH Romania-France-Denmark-Greece-Bulgaria, 2025, 104 min, color

What begins as a typical day of chores and playtime for 10-year-old Maria darkens when she becomes the last person to see her older sister Alina. On a simple trip through her courtyard to empty the trash bins, Alina disappears suddenly and quietly, leaving Maria and her bewildered parents to navigate a broken justice system with no clues and no assistance. While her mother loses her grip on the day-to-day and her father loses his hope, Maria takes matters into her own hands, determined to find her sister.

Mihai Mincan

Born in 1980 in Bucharest, Mihai Mincan is one of the most promising Romanian filmmakers. A graduate of Philosophy and with over 10 years experience as a journalist, he at one point took the plunge and entered the cinema world, after writing a screenplay that got him into two decisive, encouraging discussions, with Cristi Puiu and Corneliu Porumboiu. After a few short films, he co-directed three documentaries and directed his debut feature film, To the North (2022).  Milk Teeth (2025) is his latest film.
