**LOOKING FOR ROMANIAN ACTORS ABLE TO SPEAK THE LANGUAGE FLUENTLY**
Storyline
ULTRA tells the extraordinary true story of Tibi Useriu, a world-renowned ultramarathoner whose path to redemption is as grueling as the races he runs. Born into hardship in Soviet-era Romania, Tibi escapes an abusive home only to spiral into a life of crime across Europe—becoming a con artist, mafia enforcer, and armed robber. His recklessness leads to a violent capture and a decade in one of Europe’s most notorious prisons, where he faces his demons in solitary confinement. Upon release, he finds salvation in ultramarathons, transforming pain into endurance and forging a new identity as a champion athlete.

Description Alin is Tibi’s older brother, the cautious one between the two. Like Tibi, he grew up facing hardship and borderline poverty in their northern Transylvanian town, but he never turned to crime. When Tibi is thrown into prison, Alin renounces him, believing his brother is lost to his own choices. But years later, flooded by forgiveness, he takes up the fight to help Tibi get released. Back home in Romania, Alin becomes a steady presence in Tibi’s life, helping him find his path again. **Looking for a Romanian actor** **Must speak Romanian fluently** | ||
