Bad luck and bad judgment follow two generations of men in this Rumanian tragedy, set in the World War II era. Ion (Dan Nutu) seeks to find out why many years ago his father was falsely accused of being a communist, an accusation which led to his execution. He discovers that his father's mistress, now married to a wealthy man, made the accusation for money, as she was deathly afraid of poverty. Ion's own girlfriend seems to be similarly concerned about issues of livelihood, and abandons him for a richer suitor. Frustrated and angry, he burns down these couple's houses and takes up with some anti-communist arms smugglers.

Movie

Microphone Test (1980)
Proba de microfon Douban
other title: 测试麦克风 / Proba de microfon
A television news team approaches a young woman for an interview. The woman’s reaction is so emotional and unexpected that the cameraman, Nelu (director Mircea Daneliuc), resolves to discover the reasons behind her tense, nervous outburst. Using a combination of fictional sequences and cinema vérité encounters with ordinary citizens, Microphone Test is about those moments of truth that shine through situations as controlled and ritualized as TV interviews—the moment when a crack appears in the social façade that reveals another kind of reality hidden just out of sight. Nelu becomes increasingly obsessed with this young woman and her world, and his search for understanding forces him to question his own past and the role of the media in shoring up political power.
