Having listened to this DVD and viewed it, all I can say is yes, I think it is probably a seminal masterwork by some of the world's best ever musicial geniuses..

CaliforniaDreamin' takes place in Romania, and is based on a true story. In 1999, during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, a train containing American radar equipment required in Kosovo goes through Romania and is held up for several days in a small village on the Bărăgan Plain (in the movie, the village of Căpâlniţa) because some customs papers are missing.
