The movie honors Cornel Chiriac, a cult figure among the youth listening to his Radio Free Europe's Metronom music show, who was assassinated by the Securitatea secret police in 1975. How was to be hippy in communist Romania? Partying, being in and making love, listening to political and music programs broadcasted by Western radios, and attempting to send letters to them. Not all of these activities were very tolerated by the communist regime, and some were illegal. When Ana, in love with Sorin, is interrogated by Securitatea officers together with her partygoing classmates about their intention to send a letter with music requests to Radio Free Europe, she brutally understands the vicious power of the totalitarian regime and its unfair encroachment into the fragile minds of sincere lovers. The film is an astute and emotional commentary on the complicated relationship between (political) freedom and (uncertainties of) love.
