Elena Pascalau and Ioana Gheorghe, nothing relates them but still...

Elena in her confused moment of life, she will leave for Germany in autumn for a master degree. Ioana Gheorghe at 86 years old, lived all her life in Esechioi village, Dobrogea, she is not confused at all, with her pink slippers she is very comfortable to have her picture taken. 60 years difference between them...

Esechioi

Esechioi is a village in Dobrogea, Romania at the border with Bulgaria. It was a Turkish village but now only the name remained Turkish. In 2002, there were around 320 but now there are less than 200 and more and more houses are ruins after the old people died.This is an article I found on internet about Esechioi.
