Reception
A retrospective Romanian reviews wrote, "The photography (by Iulius Druckmann) is elegantly subordinated to the action, creating an atmosphere of delight and poetry necessary for the fairytale. Less neat than in the first film, the post-sync and some tricks (in the flight of dandelions scene) are more annoyingly visible." The film was said to be "suggestive of how sexual politics are created by narratives and cultural forms. The communist propaganda was using the prescribed gender role of the woman as the Caretaker Mother".

Why this record matters
The phrase “1973 film by Elisabeta Bostan” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7922480. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1973, 1972, 2009 and 2012.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
