On December 20, 1989, Romania is on the brink of revolution. The streets are filled with demonstrations, students mock the regime with art, and New Year's Eve performances glorify Ceaușescu. Yet, in the discomfort of their unheated homes, families grapple with personal conflicts and the omnipresent secret police. Six seemingly unconnected lives intersect in unexpected ways. As tensions reach boiling point, they are united in an explosive moment that culminates in the dramatic fall of Ceaușescu and the communist regime.
Best Film in the Orizzonti section at the 2024 Venice Film Festival
"In his third feature, Bogdan Mureşanu finds an excellent balance between the parts, overcoming the difficulties of polyphonic narration, allowing history to act as a connecting link. He manages to connect with current events through the theme of tampering, tricks and artifices that have become the norm in contemporary life, with reality sabotaged by falsification to achieve an eternal present." (Antonio D'Onofrio)
Il film sarà in sala dal 4 dicembre 2025.
