On the brink of revolution in 1989, Romania, six lives intersect amid protests and personal struggles, leading to the explosive fall of Ceausescu and the communist regime. This historical drama has already won 19 international awards.
The film's director, Muresanu, returns to the absurd circumstances of the fall of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu over Christmas 1989 through darkly humoristic lens. The collective ”symphony” juxtaposes the fates of six different people: a factory worker, who’s worried about the letter his son sent to Santa Claus; a television producer, who’s charged with changing the New Years’ Show; his son, plotting to escape the country; a pensioner on the verge of losing her flat; her son, working for the Romanian Secret Service and the actor coming in to replace the star attraction of the television show.
