THE LINE
Andreea Dumitriu / Romania, Netherlands / 2025 / 40 min
Over several days, a line of believers at one of Eastern Europe’s largest Orthodox pilgrimages reveals a temporary community shaped by faith, patience and unexpected encounters.
About the film
Every autumn, tens of thousands of people wait in line to touch the relics of Saint Parascheva in Iași. Along a route marked by metal barriers, water stations and food distributed to pilgrims, strangers come to share hours of waiting, stories and beliefs. Without explanation or commentary, the film follows the human flow, as an organized route becomes, for a few days, a place of encounter and hope.
