- Gruber's Journey or Călătoria lui Gruber is a 2008 Romanian drama film directed by Radu Gabrea. It is set in World War II during the Holocaust in Iaşi (Iaşi pogrom) and was shot on location in Bucharest. The film is rare for a Romanian film in that the central protagonist of the film, an Italian writer Curzio Malaparte, is not Romanian.
Plot:
The film centers on an Italian writer named Curzio Malaparte, who was a member of the Italian Fascist Party.
Malaparte is assigned to cover the Russian front for the Italian news service, and travels with Colonel Freitag of the Wehrmacht and the deputy commander of the local Romanian garrison to Romania. He suffers from a serious allergy and is sent to consult world-class allergist, Dr. Josef Gruber in Iaşi, but Gruber is missing.
Malaparte, suffering terribly from his allergy desperately seeks to find the doctor who has been captured. During his search for the doctor he encounters shocking situations in the Holocaust against the Jews in the city. He later writes a very critical account of the incident in his novel Kaputt.
It is the first Romanian film about the Holocaust launched by the Romanian authorities against the Jewish community.
