At 12:08 pm on the 22nd of December 1989, the hated Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu was finally forced from power – bringing to an end many years of corruption and tyranny. But not everyone takes an active role in life even in times of great change. In this likeable and acclaimed comic-drama from Romania, a group of ordinary citizens in a close-knit community find themselves mulling over the past 16 year after the revolution – and as the anniversary of the dictator’s fall approaches, they can’t help asking themselves if they actually helped bring it about in even the smallest way?
