In 1980s Romania, you shouldn't fall in love or expect loyalty from friends or family. In Ceausescu's Romania, it is foolhardy to trust anyone. Still, there are those foolish people who believe in freedom. The characters are wonderful. The atmosphere intense. The beginning was a bit sluggish but the rest was intense.
