Cristian Mungiu's collection of five short comedies takes a bitingly satirical look at life in Romania during the final years of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu's regime. The individual episodes give an idea of how surreal and absurd the lot of the ordinary Romanian could be made by the machinations of their nation's brand of communism.
