Maria is a film that presents a destiny. In a desperate situation, a woman chooses prostitution as a last-ditch solution to fend for her children. Beyond the implications of this real case the film also depicts the struggle transition. Ion(Maria′s husband), Milco, Mala are characters who try to make a change in their lives. In fact, for them this change means nothing more than survival. Unemployed people, prostitutes who try to accost truckers at road junctures, tenants of flats who can no longer pay for their maintenance, two-bit crooks, all live a chaotic, ruthless, most of the time brutally unfair life. Still, responsibility, friendship, and even love are not absent from the picture. It seems that none of the characters can actually alter their destiny... The exception to these unhappy truths of life seems to be Maria. Moved by her plight, the authorities decide to come to her assistance. But this tiny flicker of hope needs a lot of love and support to burn strong.
