About Moldova

Picture
Moldova is an Eastern European state located between Romania and Ukraine. Independent since 1991, Moldova is growing economically, with increased tourism taking advantage of the beautiful natural landscapes and regional wine.

Probably the best-known work on Moldova is Tony Hawk's bestselling book Playing the Moldovans at Tennis, from which this film is adapted.
