Synopsis
In December 1989, the Romanian revolution has begun and the town of Sibiu becomes the scene of a violent assault. Police and militia loyal to Ceausescu are arrested and thrown into an empty swimming pool, where it is impossible to tell who is who in the ensuing chaos. A realistic dive into the events, during which lives hang in the balance.
