PLOT SUMMARY
With its breathtaking beauty, Transalpina is more than a spectacular roadway meandering across the mountains. The age of the road connecting Transylvania with Wallachia is counted in thousands of years.

The film invites the viewer to a multilayered journey: along a unique road associated with the names of three kings, on mysterious underground paths once walked by the Dacians’ god Zamolxis, and up to the sky, where things that happened in the times of the mythical giants gave mountain peaks and valleys the names they still carry today.
