Romania's media and entertainment industry is set to grow by 2.5% this year compared to 2023, to a value of EUR 4.43 billion.

"In Hollywood movies, we still see women having orgasms that are physically just not possible, at least for 99 percent of women!"

Babygirl stars Nicole Kidman as a high-powered CEO married to the age-appropriate and undeniably sexy Jakob ( Antonio Banderas ) who embarks on a forbidden romance with a much younger intern, pla...
