The Romanian architects of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century succeed in identifying the most precious elements of vernacular architecture and Byzantine architecture, bringing them to a monumental dignity in an eclectic style that will be called the neo-Romanian style or the Romanian national style. The architect and philosopher Augustin Ioan and the art historian Ada Hajdu illustrate the evolution of this style starting with the Paris exhibition from 1889 until the Great Union of Alba Iulia and its spread in all Romanian regions. The actor Ion Dichiseanu points out poetically expressively the neo-Romanian architectural space that is nothing more than architecture of the Romanian soul, a true symbol of the cultural and territorial unity completed through the Great Union. The film presents the invasion of the neo-Romanian style from small residential buildings to the monumental public buildings. It is surely the first documentary film about the architecture that preceded the Great Union and the consequences it had on modern and contemporary urban aesthetics.
