Synopsis

Five former class mates belonging to the last generation of children of the soviet era recall the joyful stories of a childhood protected by the communist party, the youthful years belonging to the political shift of the Perestroika and the fall of the Soviet Union, and follow the complex and unexpected path of 20 years of Russian capitalism.
Their biographies, made from home made movies and propaganda films, unfold  and bring together testimonies of the generation caught between two eras, each of them with its frustration, shortcomings and dreams.

With the participation of: Vasile Ernu, writer, political analyst (Sunday, 20th of March)
