English titles: 12:08 East of Bucharest; Was It or Was It Not?
Synopsis: In a small town in Romania, a talk show host from the local TV station invites two men to talk about their memories of the day of Ceausescu's fall. The film shows these three characters' lives on the morning before the show, and then the show proper, during which they will try to answer whether there was a Revolution or not in their town.
Appraisal: Observational cinema, composed of small incidents through which one may get a glimpse of an entire country. I wish it were a little more exciting.
