the first virtue - extraordinary courage of the director. the second - the acting. like each film by Alexandru Tatos, its theme is the truth behind the regime masks. and in this case, the truth of village life. far to be a moral lesson, like many films of period, it is admirable work of nuances, it impress and remembers the rules of a dictatorship in its details. a film about roots of evil, honest ,fresh, ironic view about lies and improvisation of Romanian Communism. for a part of its viewers , it could be a kind of revelation. and it is correct that - it represents a testimony. or good occasion for remember. not exactly characters types but the laws of a period.

admirable work
Kirpianuscus22 June 2016
in the context of period, a manifesto. ironic, honest , useful for define the atmosphere of a political regime and the rules of a small community. a strange love story, a powerful mayor, the fight for justice in suffocated circle of interests, cowardliness, compromises. and three great actors - Tora Vasilescu, Amza Pellea, Mircea Daneliuc - recreating the sources and expressions of reproduction of the political regime image. force and brutality. and the courage. the courage of Alexandru Tatos to propose a kind of manifesto. or, only a real good portrait of reality. and the great point is the force of each scene to define the manner to understand and manipulate reality who continues to be present in every day reality.
