The trials and tribulations of two high school students deeply in love with each other, but facing the challenge of their completely different social backgrounds, during the twilight of the communist Romania.

The first movie in the “Liceenii” saga, it tells the love story of Ioana and Alexandru, two high-schoolers face their feelings and their parents and teachers in a classig story. Its success made the communist regime spawn a number of sequels and spin-offs, revolving around the pupils of the two brilliant teachers, Socrates and Isoscelles, played magnificently by Ion Caramitru and Tamara Buciuceanu-Botez, respectively. This romantic dramedy is excellent and is one of the best Romanian movies out there. Seven popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.
