Narrative

On the brink of the 1989 revolution in Romania, six lives intersect amid protests and personal struggles, leading to the explosive fall of Ceausescu and the communist regime. This film, which showcases a generation of actors who have reached artistic maturity, is a triumph for Romanian cinema. . The film describes the atmosphere that led to the 1989 revolution, but without exaggeration, because reality itself was absurd. The film manages to capture both the everyday scenes and the emotional state of people before 1989, and the patterns of words used at that time, allowing the viewer to re-experience (or experience for the first time) the lives of people in 1989. By the end of the film, no one in the audience could get up from their seats! Moving and uplifting, a true work of art! A big "bravo" For the director, actors, cinematographer, screenplay and soundtrack!
