An inspiring review of a chain of events that led to the unfortunate and accidental death of a team of Militia recruits.
The movie starts by telling us the ending even before the credits; all throughout the movie we watch the events unfolding, knowing the conclusion, yet hoping for a different one.
A wonderful recreation of the revolutionary Bucharest of 1989, with extreme care for details, humor and that which can only be defined as the Romanian spirit of the time.
The hypnotically contradictory sketches (a man carrying a Christmas tree in the subway station while bullets were flying outside, or the mistaking of a gypsy for an Arab terrorist) leave the viewer laughing and crying at once.
For anyone interested in a most realistic review of the Romanian Revolution of 1989 -- one that is, however, in no way a documentary -- this is a must-see.
