When a man returns to his childhood villa, following decades of absence, a familiar-looking little girl takes him on a wondrous journey back to the innocence of his early years in pre-war Romania.
Octav is a life-affirming story that celebrates the purity of childhood, friendship, love and the bitter-sweetness of nostalgia.
