On the brink of revolution in 1989, six lives intersected in Romania amid protests and personal struggles that led to the explosive fall of Ceausescu and the communist regime. Reference on Radio Dolin: The Results of 2024. Best Movies of the Year (2024) An extraordinary film that captures the end of 1989, just before the Romanian revolution. The story follows the lives of people living under the Ceausescu regime, just one day before the events that changed Romania’s history. The film accurately depicts the tension, fear and uncertainty that gripped everyone at the 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 the unrest all around me. Although the beginning may seem a bit slow, which 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 for those who lived through those times.
