According to Deadline, documentary sales specialist Cinephil has boarded Alexandru Solomon’s Small Expectations ahead of its world premiere in the Frontlight sidebar of the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam next week. The first-person investigation chronicles the chaotic lead-up to Romania’s 2025 presidential election in which moderate independent Nicușor Dan faced off against far-right forces, including Trump-aligned street fighter George Simion and ultranationalist Călin Georgescu. Solomon delves into the machinery of power, disinformation, and the rapid radicalization of a society under pressure, as Russian interference allegations, institutional breakdowns, and the unleashing of fascist energy left Romania’s democracy exposed.
