听摇滚乐是罪的年代，罗马尼亚青年只能在家里闭门派对，抓住稍纵即逝的放纵与自由。十七岁的安娜，得知男友将移民他方，情绪跌落低谷，不顾母亲反对，参加犯禁派对。偷偷收听西方广播，心仪电台节目却无法点唱，于是联手写信。没料到秘密警察上门拉人，勾结外国的罪名如何担当？亚历山德鲁·贝尔克首部剧情长片，细致重塑七十年代氛围，捕捉少女内心挣扎与哀愁，回首齐奥塞斯库独裁时期的青春和压抑、背叛和饶恕。戛纳一种关注单元最佳导演。

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.

1989 年罗马尼亚处于革命边缘，六人的生命在抗议和个人斗争中交汇，导致齐奥塞斯库和共产主义政权爆炸式垮台。
