Roxio CinemaNow - Ryna

A beautiful teenager struggles to satisfy the demands of her overbearing father while seeking her own identity in Ruxandra Zenide's unforgettable festival hit. Ryna has been raised as a boy because her mechanic father was obsessed with having a son. Despite her enforced short hair and oil-stained clothes, Ryna's beauty is apparent. Her potential suitors include the young postman, her father's manipulative friend the mayor, and Georges, a handsome French anthropologist conducting a study in town. Georges tells her of the world outside the Danube Delta, a dream Ryna barely allows herself to consider. When her mother leaves, unable to tolerate any more of her husband's physical and verbal abuse, Ryna defies her father and wears a dress to the town fair.  This simple act of independence triggers a series of events that lead to a tragic end; and a fateful choice for Ryna.
