As a genuine Romanian, i was actually impressed with the quality of this video. It really captures the spirit of the Black Sea beach, and it’s two most important poles. Superficially maybe, but to go deeper, well... you really had to be there.

They overthrew their government and started a party.nice

Wrong. The party was already there, the government interrupted it so we had no choice but overthrow it ;)

That's not water....it's holy "purified" water :))) :D, at least 40-50 degree of alchol in it :D

Was here in 2011 after I graduated and was free of all worries. Had no plan, no destination, just took the train from west to east and ended up here. First night all my stuff got stolen except my passport and credit card. Never saw anything back, of course. There was a police investigation, which in itself was an adventure. I couldn't care less and stayed there for few more days, sleeping on the beach. Met the most amazing people, some foreigners but mostly Romanian. The nights with plastic bottles of beer, on the beach, dancing around the wooden boats and seeing the sun rise from the sea, are some of my most memorable. Not only because of this place, but what it represented in my life and the people and inspiration I got from it.

There's some subtext to this whole story with Ovidiu that the documentary misses. Ovidiu and his generation were born into an opressive, authoritarian regime. The State would micromanage every aspect of your life and take all decisions for you. The State would decide what clothes you can wear, how long you can wear your hair, what music you can listen to, what thoughts you can have and what words you can say. The secret police had a disproportionate amount of power and no accountability in enforcing what the State and the Party decided. The documented instances of torture in political prisons and slave labor camps is stuff that will make your skin crawl. The people partying in Mamaia are the nouveau rich, some of them descendants of Communist Party members that were able to hold onto power and wash their hands during the transition to a capitalist society. A transition which was definitely not smooth and marred by violence for years after the revolution. These people are the descendants of morally bankrupt psychopaths that have always looked out for their own interests and nothing else. And the reason why progress in the country has come so painfully slow in the past 30 years. All of this to say that 20:45 is an incredibly bad take. Equating communism with the current liberal capitalist society is idiotic. Ovidiu and his generation were going to Vama Veche because it was one of the only options to get away from an opressive regime. The people going to Vama Veche now are going there by choice, they have the freedom to go anywhere in the world and they're choosing VV. There's a big difference there.

No....THIS is a bad take. The fact that you can watch this whole video and NOT see the differences in the two cultures being inherent to both the state AND CAPITALISM is disheartening tbh.

​@@c.kottman7843 it's not about capitalism my guy, it's about freedom. The lack of it during communism and the presence of it today. This is what the Vice crew doesn't understand, because they are coming from a culture where freedom is given by default. It's like me explaining to a fish what water is.

This video feels like a 90's documentary. The music, the voice-over, the mentioning of communist regime at the start of the video

....the camp fire was not put out by any type of police...the club that is in charge of it simply sends an employee to put it out when it’s mostly burned off *i’m from Constanta, Romania, very close to this place*

Such an awesome video, i've absolutely loved it!

Ovidiu. This photo was taken by me in 2004. He was making us vodka and apple juice with limes. We didn't want that, but he made it for us anyway.

I couldn't bear a night in mamaia, not one single real smiley, only people faking they're having fun. I've been in constanta for 1 week and I've spent the whole siting there in vama, dancing in molotov, playing guitar with random people and smoking weed 24/7

Romania must become the place where every single non-extremist ideology has it's own sanctuary.

Fun video tho' Shows the positive side. It is everyday like that in the summer, fun and relaxed atmosphere. I mean... I come there, have fun one-two nights and I go home. But there are thousands doing the same, everyday. That place is breathing, it is alive. It is hard to reunite one mentality(not mainstream) which is dispersed. If you organize something to put them into one place it would not work. That place, only with it's legacy did it.

Im glad I always preferred the mountains and lakes near me ... I tend to dislike both hipsters and snobs. These are not representative for the general population btw.

I think it's because a lot of people still picture Romania as a grim or impoverished country struggling to pull itself up from it's communist legacy. A bit like what you see with neighbouring countries like Moldova. So the title is saying, 'hey this isn't the case anymore' as progress is happening, though there is still a lot of poverty and political corruption in Romania. Alongside the wealth and modern construction.

Good video but the presenter was too ignorant and superficial. I'm from Romania and I didn't know about that ritual in Vama Veche. Vama Veche is too crowded and noisy. Mamaia is full of fake people and the beach is too large now. I don't like them. I prefer the wild beaches more. I hate crowded beaches and noise. You go to a beach to relax. You don't go to a beach to have many people around you and hear annoying music all day long.

4:07 we will se them at bendeac

Nobody comes to Vama Veche to “oppose capitalism”. Stop trying to politicize everything for Christ sake! Everybody just comes to have a great time in a more hippie way than in Mamaia, though the prices for hotel rooms are generally the same.

hahahah what's with that rave music at the begining of the video? hahahah, that's not true at all, there is no clubbing in vama, not that kind at least, it's all folk, rock and other alternative radio hits. Vama veche is not that great :))
