„"The Nameless Star" evokes a generic-anonymous provincial town located on the Bucharest-Sinaia route, at whose station the fast trains do not stop. An unprecedented act in the city's existence, the luxurious express train from Bucharest stops one evening to disembark a passenger without a ticket and without papers, a disturbing unknown. At the station to pick up his astronomy book (his absolute passion), high school teacher Marin Miroiu, enchanted by the appearance of a gorgeous lady from the good and distant world, offers her his modest home as shelter for a night. This will be a magical night, in which the heavens open and in which Mona and Marin Miroiu, each have, through the other, the revelation of another world, a revelation from which love is born. But the dream ends at dawn, in the form of the banal everyday life and the unattractive perspectives offered by life in the small town. Although transfigured by her encounter with Miroiu, Mona will still leave with her admirer, Grig, who arrived by car to retrieve her. But the encounter was not in vain: although stars never return from their path, their flame continues to shine from above.
