Between 1981 and 1985, during the rule of dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, Romania was one of the most severely affected countries under the Stalinist regime. A young boy, Mugur Călinescu, ran through the streets at midnight, using white chalk to graffiti messages of protest. He was arrested and interrogated by the secret police, and eventually met a mysterious end. Continuing the method of drawing from diverse historical texts as seen in "The Gypsy", director Radu Jude further adapts Gianina Cărbunariu's plays into a groundbreaking "documentary theater" film. He uses monologues from characters in staged settings, ceremonially reenacting official jargon from state archives, as well as the ideological control and dehumanizing nature of the state machinery. Beyond these rituals, he intersperses seemingly irrelevant light entertainment, news footage, and political propaganda, allowing the audience to oscillate between the boy's event and the outside world, sometimes present and sometimes distanced, experiencing the absurdity of parallel timelines of musical harmony and oppressive high pressure, and recognizing the media's methods used by the dictatorial government to downplay the significance of the events.
