action
Delia, a young woman from the Romanian province, won a car in a loyalty campaign by a lemonade manufacturer. However, the condition for winning is to be filmed in the car for a commercial and to advertise the product. Together with her parents, she makes her way to Bucharest , but there is already a dispute over the profit on the journey. Delia wants to keep the car while her father wants to sell it and invest the money. When they get to the set, it turns out that the shoot for the shy Delia is much more grueling than expected. During the shooting, there were heated discussions with the parents about who had the right to dispose of the winnings. Only when the three get to feel the arrogance of the film team do they manage to reconcile.
criticism
“Andreea Bosneag plays this girl with a wonderfully eloquent introspection between defiance, resignation and revolt. But on this day she will fight back like never before - and Radu succeeds in dissolving this uprising of a young girl into everyday life in such a way that one could almost overlook it. His direction never reveals too much at once, what this film review would like to adhere to. Just this much: The main part of 'The Happiest Girl in the World' is what you could call the deconstruction of a commercial shoot. This is not necessarily new, nor is the insight that grand prizes do not always make you happy. "
