An extraordinary film that captures the essence of late 1989, just before the Romanian Revolution
Narrative
On the brink of the 1989 Romanian revolution, the lives of six people intersect amid protests and personal conflicts that lead to the explosive overthrow of Ceausescu and the communist regime.
The film accurately depicts the tension, fear, and uncertainty that gripped everyone at that time
The story follows the lives of people under Ceausescu’s rule one day before the events that would change the course of Romanian history.
I was six years old when the revolution took place, but many scenes in the film brought back memories of that era
Although I didn’t fully understand everything at the time, I remember the dramatic atmosphere and the sense of tension that surrounded me.
Often, the beginning of Romanian films seems a bit slow, but the ending is powerful and unforgettable
I can say that this film delivers a deep and clear message, especially to those who lived during that era.
