Victoria is the first city built from scratch in Romania, a symbolic survivor of an era that left behind an identity crisis without solutions.

The city's only tradition, still alive today, is the legacy of Chemistry, once one of the country's great prides. In a city that clings to the values of the past, the only ones it can identify with, the Victorian world is bizarre and lively.

The HBO original documentary Victoria is a love story between people and their city, fuelled by the forced relationship between the city's lack of identity and the continued justification of identity by those who inhabit it.
