11 May, 2020
In Romanian cinema, Maria Dragus, actress born in 1994 in Dresden, Germany, with both Romanian and German roots, is known for her role as teenager Eliza in "Graduation" (2016), the film for which Cristian Mungiu won the Best Director Award at Cannes. But the film that changed her life - and which she worked on when she was only 13 - was "The White Ribbon" (2009), for which Michael Haneke won the Palme d'Or. In 2010, the performance brought her the trophy for Best Supporting Actress at the German Film Awards.
