On the brink of revolution in 1989 Romania, six lives intersect amid protests and personal struggles, leading to the explosive fall of Ceausescu and the communist regime
My father tried two times to cross the border (with his friend) during communism, the first time being caught at the border with Yugoslavia and 2nd time being caught in Greece, sent back to Romania, and beaten and interrogated exactly like in the movie
Yesterday was a very special night since I assisted at a very special screening together with my fatherIn the past years, I was disgusted with any subject related to communism since I hated so much the consequences supported by so many generations of Romanians
We still suffer because of this past dictator, even the ones born after the revolutionNow I see the importance of going back 'there' to remind us not to repeat the same mistakesVery emotional film for the entire sold-out cinema hall
One of the best movies ever made after the Romanian Revolution (1989)
