The New Year that Never Came

Anul Nou care n-a fost

Romania, Serbia 2024 Fiction cor 138’

On 20th December 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 the dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu. Yet, in the discomfort of their unheated homes, families grapple with personal conflicts and the omnipresent Secret Police. Six seemingly disconnected lives intersect in unexpected ways. As tensions reach boiling point, an explosive moment unites them, culminating in the dramatic fall of Ceauşescu and the communist regime.

Winner of the best film award in the Horizons section at the Venice International Film Festival.
