On December 20th, 1989, Romania stands on the brink of revolution. The streets are alive with demonstrations, students mock the regime through art, and New Year’s shows glorify Ceausescu. Yet, behind closed doors, families grapple with personal conflicts and the omnipresent Secret Police. Six seemingly disconnected lives intersect in unexpected ways. As tensions reach a boiling point, an explosive moment brings them together, culminating in the dramatic fall of Ceausescu and the communist regime.

1989ರ ಡಿಸೆಂಬರ್‌ 20, ರೊಮೇನಿಯಾದಲ್ಲಿ ಕ್ರಾಂತಿಯ ಕಿಡಿ ಸ್ಫೋಟಿಸುವ ಕ್ಷಣ ಎದುರಾಗಿದೆ. ದಶಕಗಳಿಂದ ಕ್ರೂರ ನಿಕೊಲೆ ಚೌಶೇಸ್ಕೋನ ಸರ್ವಾಧಿಕಾರದಿಂದ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕರು ಬೇಸತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಚೌಶೇಸ್ಕೋನ ಅಂತಿಮ ದಿನಗಳು ಸನಿಹವಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ ಎನಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಂಬಂಧವೇ ಇಲ್ಲದ ಆರು ಮಂದಿ ಅದನ್ನು ಪ್ರಬಲವಾಗಿ ವಿರೋಧಿಸುತ್ತಿರುವುದು ಕಂಡು ಬರುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕರು, ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳು, ರಹಸ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸರು ಪರ ವಿರೋಧ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೈ ಕೈ ಮಿಲಾಯಿಸುವ ಸಂದರ್ಭ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಇದೇ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊಸ ವರ್ಷಾಚರಣೆ ಬರುತ್ತದೆ. ಇದು ಸರ್ವಾಧಿಕಾರಿಯ ಹೊಗಳಿಕೆಗೆ ವೇದಿಕೆಯಾಗಬಾರದು ಎಂದು ಪ್ರತಿಭಟನೆ ತೀವ್ರವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಚರಿತ್ರೆ ಬದಲಾಗುವ ಕ್ಷಣಕ್ಕೆ ಜನ ಹಾತೊರೆಯುತ್ತಿರುವುದು ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿ ಕಾಣುತ್ತಿದೆ.
