On Romulus, My Father: "There are certainly similarities to the stories that my father and friends of the family told me," [Marton] Csokas says. "They shared the shock of the new, coming from an old established culture and what it was to arrive in a very foreign land. My father was the only person left in his family, and off he went from 12 years old. The story of Romulus is not dissimilar to that."
