Brilliant, beyond words!

As a Romanian girl who did not catch the socialist republic, I must say this movie put everything into perspective for me. I loved every minute of it and laughed at the sheer charm captured on screen. Romania is a wonderful country full of fascinating people, but this movie just goes one step beyond. I grew up in the nineties, a period of transition from communism to democracy, so some of the atmosphere here I found in my daily life with my grandparents and I felt so touched to see that atmosphere come to life once more. The script and the direction were perfect in my opinion and every second of this movie is pure genius. I recommend it to everyone who wants to see a cheerful side of the Romanian dictatorship. You will definitely not regret it.
