Pepe si Fifi

Being a Romainian is a hard job. Especially in the first years after the fall of the Communist regime, people had to learn freedom. The failure of a new democratic political structure led to disorientation. Dan Pita offers a pretty accurate image of what happened in the first years of the 90's. Cheating, illegal business, prostitution, gambling, poverty and suffering are all part of this. The reality is depressing and refutes hope and dignity.

Politics and demagogic speech and acting are involved in this story as well. There are some really good moments in this film that sum up all the vices of the society. The best of them is the scene at the underground station, where Fifi has a chat with the junkie. He tells her:"You'd rather take care of your own life. Be careful about the way you live, because you might regret it later."
