10/10
One of my favourite romanian movies

As a high school student struggling with the constant pressure of the Baccalaureate, then as a teenager enjoying the summer vacation, then as a homesick student studying abroad, I absolutely loved this movie. It describes the reality of 18 year olds incredibly well. I mean of course most people wouldn't go to the seaside right before the big exam, but it is still a nice funny idea that every student fantasizes about and everyone would want to see it in a movie. It had everything: *SPOILERS* the scenes portraying romanian people as old communists, the very colorful and energetic Hollywood-like scenes, rebellious teenagers, teacher crushes, beach parties, romanian people eating shaworma as the only meal of the day, crazy mother, absent parents, overprotecting parent, the girls, the guys, the innocent one, the smart one, the "cocalar" one (or more), the one who still has no plans for the future, the lowlife, the badass one talking everyone into doing something crazy. PLUS it was shot in Romania, and for a romanian, having a movie displaying many of the places that you know and you've been to means a lot. If someone in the production or the cast sees this review: THANK YOU! This movie had helped me A LOT in the past couple of years.
