In a style that can be characterized as docu-drama, the film follows the struggles between the forces that until the eve had been allies in the preservation of communist order and legality, and which now find themselves - out of manipulation, out of inexperience, out of fear - engaged in - a violent conflict. Neither historians nor courts nor ordinary people have yet given a clear verdict on those events: what really happened? Was there a popular uprising, a coup d'état, media stage, or a combination of all these? 'Libertate' ('Freedom'), the film directed by Tudor Giurgiu, focuses on what happened in Sibiu, a city that in 1989 had about 150 thousand inhabitants, located in Transylvania, in the geographical center of Romania. Romania was the last country among the former allies of the USSR in which this regime change took place and the only one in which the transition was violent. Romanian cinema, like a significant part of the Romanian society, is still obsessed with the events of December 1989, which led to the fall of communism.
