The film comprises six interconnected stories, one of them co-written with actress-screenwriter Iulia Lumânare. Interestingly, the feature recycles (and completes) The Christmas Gift and another, unreleased short film, New Year’s Eve. One of the protagonists is Ştefan Silvestru, the director of the national television station, who has to deal with a career-ending issue: an actress who appeared in a sketch to be broadcast on New Year’s Eve has defected the country. Silvestru’s son, Laurenţiu, who plans to defect by swimming across the Danube to Yugoslavia, is the protagonist of another story, all six of them exploring the atmosphere in Bucharest before the “end of the world”, or the fall of the regime.

　　Ecaterina, a high school Religion teacher and wife of the town priest, gets involved with Iuliu, a 16-year-old student with a troubled past. Ecaterina tries to keep him under control, but she loses her own sense of control in this process.

　　70年代，伊朗女孩赫拉在罗马尼亚上大学，她认识了一个叫玛利亚的同学。在79年反对君主制的革命爆发后，赫拉怀着政治变革的希望回国，此后再也没离开。接下来的几十年，赫拉和玛利亚通过书信传情的方式，交流她们对政治、社会和人生的看法，直到罗马尼亚也迎来苏东巨变。两场革命之间，是两个女人超越时空的精神恋爱。导演用详实的历史资料作为支撑，通过模糊纪录片和剧情片边界的方式讲述这段感人往事。
