It is the 22nd of December. Sixteen years have passed since the revolution, and in a small-town Christmas is about to come. Piscoci, an old, retired man is preparing for another Christmas alone. Manescu, the history teacher, tries to keep up with his debts. Jderescu, the owner of a local television post, seems not to be so interested in the upcoming holidays. For him, the time to face history has come. Along with Manescu and Piscoci, he is trying to answer for himself a question which for 16 years has not had an answer: "Was it or wasn't it a revolution in their town?"

“Was there or wasn’t there?”
