Out of enthusiasm, one of the men, Costi Andronescu, abandons the mission and decides to fight for the cause of the Revolution at the Television building.

At one point, however, they realize that the "enemy" are also Army soldiers and try to explain the situation to one of the officers at the scene, only to be branded "terrorists" and "Arabs".

The film ends with them in the same standoff seen at the beginning, sitting in their APC while regular army soldiers ask them to identify themselves at the checkpoint.

[3] Leslie Felperin of Variety wrote: Third feature by helmer Radu Muntean (The Fury) adeptly blends docudrama realism and wryly observed humor in a manner comparable to fellow Romanian Cristi Puiu's recent The Death of Mr. Lazarescu and other local films, while offering yet another intimate-scaled, off-center examination of the impact of 1989.

Using largely handheld camera rigs and overlapping sound, pic achieves high degree of naturalism, creating docudrama feel without ever edging into preachiness.
