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. Cited in Radio Dolin: The Results of 2024. Best Films of the Year (2024) . An exceptional film that captures the essence of late 1989, just before the Romanian Revolution. The story follows the lives of people living under Ceausescu’s rule just days before the events that changed the course of Romanian history. The film accurately portrays the tension, fear, and uncertainty that gripped everyone during that time. I was only 6 years old when the revolution happened, 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 unrest all around me. While the beginning may seem a bit slow, as is often the case with Romanian films, the ending is powerful and unforgettable. I can say that the film conveys a deep and clear message, especially to those who lived through those times.
