The film, which won the award for best actress at the European Film Festival, tells the love story of two ordinary people during the upheaval in Eastern Europe in the late 1980s. In Bucharest in the late 1980s, a woman who had just lost her father did not want to follow her sister's path of the police and decided to seek development in other provinces. As a result, she became a teacher and fell in love with the optimistic doctor Mittik. Although they were greeted by political storms and social unrest, under the care of faithful love, the couple, like the oak trees next to their dates, retained unlimited expectations and beliefs about life and tomorrow. The film has a strong sense of rhythm and a large number of surreal scenes, including sarcastic condemnation of the Romanian dictatorship at that time and description of human repression under the dark autocracy, but through this pair of carefree lovers in a world of self-love, the director's intention is to express deep sympathy and hope for the country and the nation, as well as everlasting confidence in a better future. Reminiscent of Kusturica's City without Sky, there are similarities and differences between the two.
