Moon Hotel Kabul

Moon Hotel Kabul is a 2018 Romanian-French drama film directed by Anca Damian and written by Damian and Lia Bugnar.

The film was shot in 2016, in Bucharest and Morocco, "as it was too risky to shoot in Kabul at that time".

At the 2019 Gopo Awards, Alexandru Nagy was nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, and Popii and Rodica Negrea were nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. References External links
