Jesus, what an awful movie! It's beyond anybody's imagination, not only boring and badly structured, but the musical moments are of the lowest quality ever. Watching this movie may be used as an alternative torture method - Amnesty International would be humiliated! The dialogs are clumsy and the plot inexistent. A good example, though, of the quality of movies made in communist Romania in the late 80s. At that time, some good Romanian actors have decreased their prestige by playing into this movie. You'll be surprised to find Florin Piersic, Stela Popescu, Emilia Popescu or Jean Constantin playing here. The director was one of the classic communist movies director - he also directed historical movies or "working class" movies, playing the game of the ruling communist party. Nobody remembers him today, although at that time he was one of the mainstream directors. I am unable to understand how this movie made it to IMDb. Its low quality makes it not even worth mentioning it. The one and only thing which convinced me to watch it all the way was the fact that I was 18 years old at the time of the shooting and I felt a bit nostalgic. Actually, this movie is supposed to be a musical. You cannot watch more than 5 minutes in a row, it is that bad! By the end of the movie they sing the song "Tzurai" at least three or four times... in the mean time, the common people were waiting painfully, in long lines, hours and hours in order to get something to eat from the few stores in town. Better be warned, don't waste your time by watching it. Or even better, forget this movie ever exists, it doesn't make any difference.
