Boekarest, 1972. Ceausescu’s communistische regime wurgt de samenleving meer en meer. Vrijheid staat onder druk en cultuur moet ten dienste staan van de propagandamachine van de staat.

Ze luisteren naar het verboden radiostation Radio Free Europe, dansen op "Light My Fire" van The Doors en besluiten een brief te schrijven naar de radiohost. Tot de Securitate, de geheime staatspolitie, binnenvalt… (September Film)

Recensie (2)
An uncompromising moral procedural about the loss of the teenage protagonist's virginity. There is something more at play here besides virginity - the first (and perhaps crucial) compromise with communist power in 1970s Romania. Precise, anticlimactic (probably the only flaw in its beauty), and highly relevant.

The naive Ana struggles first with her relationship with the boy she loves and then with the communist regime in Romania. Although this protagonist is not exceptional, she manages to resist the regime at first, until a confluence of events forces her to give in. A very slow but important film depicting a pivotal historical chapter. Also, director Alexandru Belc's film beautifully shows how small actions can crash the waves in a highly controlled environment.
