The Master Builder Manole (1993)
Inspired by Lucian Blaga's eponymous dramatic work written in 1927, the story follows the life of the legendary master Manole and his team of builders who are hired to construct a monastery in a remote and inaccessible area. As the construction progresses, Manole faces various challenges and obstacles, as well as the pressure to create a durable and beautiful building.
