- DirectorAndrei BlaierStarsAdrian PaduraruIlinca GoiaAlexandru RepanDirected by Andrei Blaier, this film was produced in 1989, just a few months before the December revolution. Made in a subtle key with veiled references to the communist system of that time, the film only ran for one week, after which it was censored. Set against the backdrop of the dramatic days that preceded and consecrated the Great Union of 1918, "The Moment of Truth" (1918) is more the story of a fascinating but sad love than the fresco of that era. Following in parallel a love in troubled times and the historical destiny of Romania, the film depicts, equally with poetry and realism, the enthusiasm, but also the anguish of those eras, both on a collective and individual level.

- DirectorGyörgy SzomjasStarsGyula Deák BillLászló FöldesJózsef KörösA Hungarian band plays American rock & roll and blues hits with great enthusiasm and passion, but success seems to avoid them. TV and radio don't play their songs, sometimes even their crowd just sits and sips beer. Something must be done, and the band's promoter/agent (played by Lóránt Schuszter) comes up with the big idea: write and play songs for the people about themselves and not about some exotic, but too distant people's life. "We move from Tobacco Road to Retek street" that is the summary of his revolutionary idea that connects the music roots to the new content of the lyrics to be. With the remains of the band and a second singer (Gyula Deák "Bill") they find what they failed to show people before. The rich new sound can finally translate the spirit of blues and rock much more than words from any dictionaries could, this is the Köbánya-blues. The fans - who are mostly young people - love the band and some fans even write admiring letters to the band. They feel they are on the right track for a career. They fire the promoter who takes back the dog - that should have been the image of the band and who induced the title song of the movie - to the dog home after the had fired him as promoter. The band continues to play in venues in front of new audience that is a promising path to a career. The band is going to strive for perfection of their newly found path to reach people with real stories in their songs that connect to people through similarities with their lives.
