Eu contez
Overview
Rebeca, 19, lives in the social care system along with others and her best friend Simona. They dream of leaving the system and having a home together. Rebeca, enrolled at the best acting school in Romania, enjoys her time in classes even knowing that if she fails an exam she will be forced to leave the system.
One day, Rebeca returns from the University to find Simona gone. Simona dismisses her when Rebeca reaches out to her. The most important exam of the year is announced at school, requiring students to bring personal belongings, to show their environment from home. Rebeca doesn’t want to tell others that she is an orphan, with no real home and she starts panicking.
When Simona dies in a gas leaking accident, Rebeca goes to her mother. She is in a mental hospital and doesn’t recognize her.
As Rebeca recovers, she organizes a funeral for Simona and the others that have died and, after asking the dean to let her stay at the student home, Rebeca leaves the social care system.
