Summary:

The original inspiration for the film is a tragic incident which took place in the Romanian revolution in 1989, in which two squads of Interior Ministry troops that went to protect a military unit were accidentally butchered. In the days following the departure of the Ceausescus, when the Romanian people had no clear enemy, over 1,000 people died in such accidents. It is not a History Channel type historical perspective, but it tries to recreate the emotion of those days from the point of view of ordinary people. It is the story of the loss of innocence of a whole generation and of a popular rebellion that brought out the best and the worst in us.
