If your name ends in ESCU, then you are Romanian. If not, that's OK.

-Plot: Serban Georgescu tells his daughter the story of the Romanian people, touching upon customs, clothing, rural vs urban life, music, religion, politics ... -Good cast of kind, smart and good-humored Romanians: Ioana Parvulescu, Mihaela Miroiu, Sorin Ionita, Stelian Tanase, Theodor Paleologu and Vintila Mihailescu. -A documentary made with love and respect; I tip my hat to Serban Georgescu. -Ceausescu fell because daily life was miserable and the TV program was too short. -Outstanding collage of pictures and video clips from the old days. Kind of disorganized but then memory is randomly allocated. -Very little about the post-revolutionary Romania (after 1989). Risky. -Ceausescu fell because the electricity went out during soccer games. -Rural and urban Romania are slowly merging: electronic devices conquer the countryside and folk inspired fashion conquers the cities. -Good final scene: it is all in our mind! -Ceausescu fell because Romanians had enough. -Let's go to the movies!
