Asa Sunt Fetele is a wonderful short film about a boy’s study of women. The plot reminds me of A Christmas Story. Instead of a little blond boy named Ralphie, you have a little blond boy named Mathias. In this film Mathias’ teacher assigns a composition. Is this starting to sound familiar yet? The instructions are simple; write about anything you’d like as long as you learn something from it. Okay, so little Mathias won’t be chronicling his deepest Christmas wishes, but he goes at the composition with the same vigor. You follow Mattias through his studies until you happen upon another young classmate, Maria. It quickly becomes clear that Mattias is quite taken by the lovely blonde and they have a couple of minor exchanges before his research is complete. While I won’t give away the end of Asa Sunt Fetele, I will tell you that it shares another parallel with A Christmas Story – it ends much like the scene in which Ralphie receives his grade.
