Summary:
This film is one of the wickedest deadpan comedies to come down the pike in a while and is a triumph of dry wit for its director. Significantly it is the 22nd of December. 16 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 address his debts. Jderescu, the owner of a local television post, seems not so interested in the holidays. For him, the time to face history has come.
