Ioana Flora, about Fragile: “I felt like I was giving something back”

18 May, 2021

Ioana Flora is a prolific Romanian actress, who played in more than 20 films in the last 20 years. She has starred in Stuff and Dough (2001), the feature film directed by Cristi Puiu and considered the movie which started the Romanian New Wave. Since then, she has worked with numerous popular film directors, acted in TV series and received two Gopo Awards. During the pandemic, Ioana - like many other actors, was left with no more roles to play. It was a time of reflection, of self-development and discoveries. With the help of Rucsandra Pop, a Romanian writer and anthropologist she found her next project - a docu-series about women within the Romanian society and their vulnerabilities. Without second thoughts, Ioana jumped into it with a lot of enthusiasm. In the interview below, we find out how it all started, what she has learned from it and what are her future plans with this special project.
