Romania, the autumn of the year 1972. Ana, a 17 year-old teenager, finds out that her boyfriend will flee the country for good in a few days. The two lovers decide to spend their last days together.
Bucharest, 1972. Ana, 17, dreams of love and freedom. One night, while partying with her friends, they decide to send a letter to Metronom, the musical program which Radio Free Europe broadcasts clandestinely in Romania. And then everything falls apart. With a slow tempo, good soundtrack and long uninterupted scenes, this movie is not only about what happens, but also about how the characters feel. And while at some point it looks surrealist or blown out of proportion, but it’s just the reality of the communist regime of that era, where the State Police would round up youngsters for long hair or listening to Led Zeppellin. Five popcorns.
