Goofs
There is a longer scene in the movie showing a bus trying to turn around on muddy soil. The bus is a Rocar bus, which has been produced only after 1990, and it has stickers on its doors, which surely have not been used before 1989.

the most poetic presentation of the communist regime

I've seen the film by mistake as there was nothing else on TV...i didn't what it was about but the title seemed exciting...What can I say?It was absolutely breath taking...Although most people would dismiss it as being yet another stupid film about communism,I would say that this one is by far the best Romanian film in quite a while...And the nomination for the Academy's Awards says it all...I loved because it was simple...It didn't make use of complex language or of extraordinary characters...It just showed the true face of Romania under the communist regime....It had beautiful characters...The images were perfect...The music was perfect...It's a small piece of jewelery...And what's more...Dorotheea is absolutely stunning...:D
