“Besides providing footage that large parts of the audience have probably never seen before, the documentary’s long-lasting effect goes beyond revolutions and civil unrest. After the screening, there is a lingering impression that, no matter one’s gender, race or country of origin, the bitter disappointments of “big history” can be sweetened (if not overcome) by friendships and the love we feel for those close to us.” – Ștefan Dobroiu, Cineuropa

“With his innovative blend of documentary and fiction, Vlad Petri effectively carries on the Romanian cinematographic tradition of dissecting, through visual creativity and an offbeat tone, the madness of his country during the eighties.”– Erwan Desbois, International Cinephil Society

“The film is carefully assembled and has an organic sense of unity, achieved by the choice of images (the home video-like personal versus the historical archive), the music (from carefree and cheerful to deeply melancholic and distorted) and the voice-overs (in two languages, but the depth of emotions is always palpable).”– Nicole Santé, Business Doc Europe
