Just wondering is that thing real in the movie?
Is there really a place like that in Romania?

Some post communist thief built his estate around Slobozia with all the repro kitsch you could think of. There's an Eifel tower, a Southfork replica (the farm from Dallas) and god knows what else. Turns out, he's now serving time for various financial crimes and the bank got his property. The crook's name is Ilie Alexandru.

I laughed so hard when I saw that scene.. and even if the tower didn't exist I can actually imagine the sort of person who would find it brilliant to have one in the middle of nowhere. Priceless

Also, In the period between the two World Wars, Bucharest's elegant architecture and the sophistication of its elite earned Bucharest the nickname of the "Little Paris of the East" (Micul Paris). Many buildings and districts in the historic centre were damaged or destroyed by war, earthquakes and Nicolae Ceaucescu's program of systematization, many survived. In recent years, the city has been experiencing an economic and cultural boom
