Exacerbated hypocrisy, embarrassingly ordered by the communist state!
RodrigAndrisan6 April 2021
"Consciousness is in the state plan!" says the character played by Radu Beligan, the most unbearable Romanian actor of all time, himself an important member of the Romanian Communist Party in real life. What more do you want? It is clearly stated in the "film" what was wanted, brainwashing to become the "new man", the communist robot, the man without consciousness. Have you noticed that in Romanian "films" before 1990, there are no love scenes? People only reproduced in the test tube. As in this production signed by Alexandru Mirodan and Marica Beligan, the close relative of the unbearable in the main role, after the kissing scene, a shy kiss that lasts a second, the two break up, he runs away.

The Securitate (the Romanian political police) controlled even the souls, it was present everywhere, only in Romanian "movies" it never appeared, neither as a character, nor as an organism. Disgusted by so much masquerade and hypocrisy, Mircea Crisan emigrated to Germany. Other actors emigrated where they could: Dumitru Furdui and Cristea Avram, in France, Vasilica Tastaman in Sweden, etc. Radu Beligan continued to star in communist "films" (only propaganda). And Toma Caragiu, another comedic actor born at the wrong place and time, did his best until he died in the 1977 earthquake.
