Ionut Coste - Sa-mi Fac Casa — Si Fantana (de Strainatate)

He is building a house he cannot yet live in. The walls rise brick by brick, funded by money sent through wire transfers, while he sleeps in a cramped apartment thousands of miles away.

His children might speak a different language, and the "home" he worked for has become a museum of the time he lost. Ionut Coste - Sa-mi fac casa si fantana (de strainatate)
