Jobs are strange things, we are often tied to them and if we are unlucky we hate them. You have to be lucky to truly love what you do, but what do you do if you hate it? Chances are you have to just soldier on and keep living the dream one day you’ll escape, even if it is just fantasy. I Really Hate My Job is the story of five women working in a restaurant who really do hate what they do and all have aspirations of living their dreams, if only they could put them into action.

When Alice (Shirley Henderson) arrives to work she finds she has to fill in for the chef who can’t make it in that day. With rejection...

LONDON -- British director Oliver Parker's new comedy "I Really Hate My Job" will make its international bow at the sixth annual Transylvanian International Film Festival in a nod to two of the film's leads, Bucharest-born Alexandra Maria Lara and Oana Pellea, the producers said Thursday.

London-based 3DD Prods. said that the Romanian world premiere will see Parker, who is currently shooting a remake of classic British comedy "St. Trinian's", introduce the film along with writer Jennifer Higgie, producer Andrew Higgie and the Romanian actresses.

Though still a young and relatively small event, the Transylvanian festival, founded by Romanian filmmaker and state television head Tudor Guirgui, has developed a reputation for innovation and style.

The Transylvanian festival runs June 1-10 in both its home venue, Cluj Napoca, and the historic city of Sibiu -- which the European Union has officially designated European Culture Capital 2007.

Parker's film will receive its North American premiere June 13 at the Seattle International Film Festival.
