If you have never seen Pintilie`s other masterpiece("Reconstituirea"),it would be quite difficult getting used to this world, where hard feelings run around in difficult times lived by emotionally charged people.This is the story of a couple struggling in a hopless world between obstacles that are thought in the end the meaning of the "big brother" concept and still,not giving up,even when was ready to!

From an in-existent story he made a cinematography masterpiece, from a propaganda linked subject he made an emotional love story, from the core of the communist Romanian period he made a film in which the politic subject is in the last plane. An undercover piece of cinematographic art. To be taken into consideration that this film was made in the same year with the presidential change in Romania, when Ceaușescu replaced Dej. Also to be noted that there is a completely unrelated scene which depicts some legionnaires acting without logic, just to be in a dark light. As the subject is, no doubt, a fake, even that scene has to be seen only as a cinematographic pattern of well done filming.
