In an age when listening to rock music was a sin, Romanian youth could only party behind closed doors at home and seize fleeting indulgence and freedom. Seventeen-year-old Anna, who learned that her boyfriend was going to emigrate, fell to a low ebb and went to an illegal party despite her mother's opposition. Secretly listening to Western radio, favorite radio programs were unable to sing, so they joined hands to write letters. Did not expect the secret police door-to-door pull people, how to bear the charge of colluding with foreign countries? Alexandru Belk's first feature-length film carefully reshapes the atmosphere of the 1970s, captures the inner struggles and sorrows of young girls, and looks back on the youth and repression, betrayal and forgiveness of Ceausescu's dictatorship. Best director of a focus unit in Cannes.
