"I had to travel far, journeying through the labyrinth of Romanian communities in America, before clarifying for myself the truth that the diaspora is a natural reality—one that must be placed in an essential relationship with the motherland. No matter how far fate pushes you from your country, with its blend of curiosity, illusion, and spirit of adventure, an umbilical cord—impossible to sever—sooner or later draws your thoughts back to your origins. The spectacle of the world along the meridians of Romanian life in America has drawn me in over the past nearly quarter of a century, ever since people close to my soul wished to try their luck—offered by the visa lottery—and crossed the Atlantic toward an America where they hoped to find everything their dreams told them might exist on this earthly plane. From the confrontation between the harsh reality of emigrant life and the ideals that one is tempted to believe can be fulfilled there, our dialogue with the people we encountered was born."\n\n
