The New Year That Never Came
Six seemingly disconnected lives intersect as Romania stands on the brink of revolution, culminating in the fall of Nicolae Ceauşescu and his communist regime.
Days before Christmas in 1989, a revolution is simmering under the surface as the lives of six ordinary people become intertwined as the country faces a monumental change to the political landscape. The city of Bucharest is authentically portrayed, as are the people who struggle to escape the influence of politics on every aspect of their lives until it becomes too much to bear and an explosive moment unites them. Director Bogdan Mureşanu crafts an accomplished and impressive debut feature that captures a pivotal moment in Romanian history and builds to a blistering and powerful conclusion.
