The third day debuted with the presentation of four short films.
The first one, "Tiger Danny" (Danut Pleaca pe Vapor) deals with the departure of a young man, Danut, to work on a cruise ship for a year. Hardly had they dropped Danut to the airport that his girlfriend, best friend and brother have 'gotten on with their life'. To their shock, Danut had missed his plane and has just returned from the airport.
The second feature, "Yellow Smiley Face" (Fata Galbena care Rade) is a funny short about an ageing couple whose son had left to the US. Now their son is trying to contact them through instant messenger. However, the two are computer illiterate and try to figure out how to use it by following a list of instructions.
The third film, "Alexandra" deals with a divorced couple who are trying to raise their little girl. The father, Tavi, has the right to visit his daughter on Saturdays only. He is paranoid that Alexandra might forget who her real father is and that his ex-wife might try to turn her against him.
The last film, "Water" (Apa) is the adaptation of a short story by D.R. Popescu. The plot is set during the Second World War in Northern Romania. Three Romanian soldiers are stuck in a trench in awful heat and no water to drink. They are at a stand off with the enemy Russians, who are in an opposite trench. Ironically, in between them stands a water fountain which none of the sides can access. Eventually, an unlikely relationship develops as both sides make a truce to obtain the much needed water.
