Anul nou care n-a fost

On 20th December 1989, Romania stands on the brink of revolution. The streets are alive with demonstrations, students mock the regime through art, and New Year’s shows glorify Ceauşescu. Yet, in the discomfort of their unheated homes, families grapple with personal conflicts and the omnipresent Secret Police. Six seemingly disconnected lives intersect in unexpected ways. As tensions reach boiling point, an explosive moment unites them, culminating in the dramatic fall of Ceauşescu and the communist regime. In the stirring words of the director, „this film offers a symphonic view of a historical event that has perhaps been portrayed too often in our films through only one lens.“ (Thessaloniki International Film Festival)
