Summary/Abstract: The old Romanian weaves, especially the carpets, have great potential both for anthropological research as well as for the making of a documentary. In their symbolism, a diegesis is potentially found which links the representative characters. The cinematographic reconstruction of the epic layering leads naturally to the folk imaginary. In this article, we focused on a hundred years old exemplary (rug with parrots), trying to rehabilitate a lost story.
