In 1981, chalk slogans written in uppercase letters started appearing in public spaces in the Romanian city of Botoşani. They demanded freedom, alluded to the democratic developments taking place in Romania’s socialist sister countries or simply called for improvements in the food supply. Mugur Călinescu was behind them, who was still at school at the time and whose case is documented in the files of the Romanian secret police. Theatre director Gianina Cărbunariu created a documentary play based on this material.

[FF Gent] It is evident the juxtaposition of the protagonist's story with the country's audiovisual makeup. . But there's a lack of cohesion between the two paths, like we are watching two different movies. And the theatricalization of the central story, the repetition, the inexpressiveness of actors who seem to accuse from a stage that does not transcend its status as a stage, does not contribute to the focus on it.
