- Can an ancient peasant civilization go unnoticed lost? Actually, it seems inconceivable, but it happens!
90 min, HDV
Sisters Maria and Ileana live in a "museum-like" home in a village in Maramure?. Their once numerous family now consists of just the two of them. Parents and siblings died one after the other while they, just helping each other, continue living as traditionally as possible: they weave, they work on the fields, they make bread, they cut wood, they breed pig to sacrifice at Christmas. Their destiny as the last representatives of the family, keeping up a whole household without complaining about anything, is an icon of the Romanian peasants' destiny. Smart, hard-working, full of life, ready to do a man's work, satisfied with little ("I just want to have what to eat today and tomorrow"), the sisters are charming characters with a caching optimism. A touching film about the disk of an era, accompanied by subtle smile.

I am from Croatia, and these old ladies remind me of Croatian women who live on village. They are always cheerfull and happy no matter what, they are simple and have a great heart. Love to Balkans!
All peoples are the same,but some other peoples,make diferences
And when they are not cheerful and happy, they massacre each other in the name of tribal preju-, erm, traditions.
"In a democracy every house had a color TV, a car and no belief in God anymore..."
VERY TRUE!
SOO TRUE. Before democracy, in communism life was all about God.
@@offbeat65believe me, communism had restriction upon God and religion.They even destroied a part of Romania by the regim.They fired churches, killed priets because they could suppress the regim in our country by enlightening people s minds.Romania was a monarchy, a democratic state.
Amazing video!! You captured the essence of the simple life. I hope this people realized that they are richer than most as far as love, friendship, closenet of community, and a beautiful land.
i am romanian and i never hear about thoes funny sisters.. :P
yep, they are probably in their 60ies, but they look older. Hard work does that to them :/ but they are people with good heart who will share their last piece of bread with complete strangers, that how Balkans people are. ;)
I meet a Romanian lady once. Only once in my life. These ladies remind me of the lady I met. This was a really great video. It reminds me of that day.
Great Romanian documentary!
Wonderful✨😍✨😍
Well done on sharing the untold stories of these women to the world~ Such a hard life, but they found it within themselves to persevere and remain happy against all odds!
Of, românii noștri dragi😔😔, of...
They laughed like little girls...

For a moment i thought i was watching some albanian village grandmothers, mostly similar to north albania . Village life > City Life
Romanian old womens from village.
Because you albanians have a saying : vlahhu eshte vlla! And yes, we really are brothers! Love from Romania!
Lovely ladies ❤❤❤
This is Romania I like to know!!! :)
He said this lady, in 1976, he admitted a French radio and tightened the village as the bear, that until then did not know that democracy, now dear Ms. I hope that you know that democracy: Romans left the strawberries in Spain, Romans left In the pandemic pandemic in Germany, the forests of the Romans leaving the trains in Austria, the Romanian oil gone in Austria, the ARO car factory destroyed by Americans, etc., etc ..... now I think you understand that democracy is a great lie
Nice. Bit sad...And really upset cant watch killing the screaming poor pig....Even if sausege is tasty...
I know that's life ... but ...what pity I felt for the poor piglet being led to slaughter! 😢
I felt the same way…I turned of the video right away! They should NOT show that…so diabolical and grotesque!!! I know I has to happen but the video lost its charm and tenderness at that moment!
Perhaps it will occur to one or the other of the commentators here that people like Ileana and Maria do not have the financial means to forego some rich food in favour of other alternatives that are more expensive in the village. Incidentally, the sisters fast several times a year for religious reasons and not to lose a few kilos. They do this for many weeks a year, and then not with a varied vegetarian diet, which they cannot afford. Bread and maize porridge day in and day out. If you want to depict life in the countryside, you can't avoid depicting this aspect of their lives - feeding and slaughtering a pet.
And what are you thinking, then meal from supermarket where from are coming? This are making people from hundreds years and not just in Romania.
Bunun gibi uzun videolar paylaşırsınız çok iyi olur paylaşırız ❤❤
There is a family like them living in my village in Turkey. They consist of 4 sisters, of which 3 are never married and they are in the ages between 32-50. They live with their father(73yo) as their mother died years ago (because a lot of straw bales fell on her)... i have mixed feelings about them... it is very hartwarming to see three sister co-work with each other and be together their whole life... but the weird thing is that they don’t go in public a lot.. they are a bit skittish 😭😅
Turkey lived there before ... are normal people with a big heart! today the youths die very quickly .. but .. look at those women that are healthy!
Nice place to stay
WOW!!!
Nice documentary. What age are the sisters?
They are not so old, but of course, but they quickly grow older than others. All the more surprising, as many older women outlive their husbands ...
it is said that romanian women often eat the days of their men.
Nice girls got to love them praise the Lord😂
Can anyone tell me about these sisters? Are they still alive what age are they etc.

I did not like watching that pig get killed. They are intelligent creatures.
But they taste good mind
Yes. All creatures are intelligent and you eat every day a little bit from one.
@@ligialigis3685 how do you know I eat a 'little bit from one' everyday?
@@KAHHHH8548 no. Maybe you not anymore but as child? And if you don't eat many people do it. I know this is hard but this ist a lifestyle in the whole world.
