Corneliu Porumboiu’s satirical film depicts the program of the déclassé director of regional television of a small town in Moldova, who wants to find out whether or not a revolution took place in the town on December 22, 1989 prior to 12:08. (12:08 was the moment when the Ceauşescu couple fled by helicopter and is therefore a key to deciding whether there was a real revolution or whether people only took to the streets after the regime fell.) The three anti-heroes – pensioner Piscoci, drunken and heavily indebted history teacher Mãnescu and Jderescu, who runs the local television studio – try to find out what it is that makes a revolution. |
