1989年罗马尼亚，齐奥塞斯库下台的革命之夜。分散各处的军队，有的早已跟群众打成一片，有的仍在听候不存在的指挥。负责保卫最高领导人安全的内务部，与站在救国阵线委员会一边的国防部队，在市中心等重要地点展开对攻。
内务部的一支巡逻小队里，有个满腔热血的士兵科斯蒂（保罗•伊帕特饰）。他不顾中尉（安迪•卡拉尔里努饰）劝阻，只身赶往打得不可开交的电视台，歼灭“恐怖分子”。如果第二天收队时丢了个手下，中尉当然不好交待。于是他决定放弃巡逻，带着手下开着装甲车，誓要找回科斯蒂。

15世纪七十年代，侵略成性的奥斯曼帝国在征服巴尔干其他民族后，疯狂地向罗马尼亚进行挑衅，并派遣他的12万大军进犯摩尔多瓦，强令摩尔多瓦公国割让白堡和基利亚等城市，遭到摩尔多瓦君主斯特凡大公的严正拒绝。为了保卫祖国，说服统治阶级的上层，打击主张投降的地主，处决叛徒卖国贼，斯特凡大公动员全国人民，进行了一场规模巨大的反侵略战争，终于打败奥军，取得胜利。

When the Soviet Army marched into Romania in 1944, a part of the Romanian population went “into the mountains” – a diverse assortment of nationalists and fascists, liberals, apolitical farmers and members of the middle-class, who were affected by the Communists’ expropriations. Over a thousand armed resistance groups took refuge in the inaccessible forests of the Carpathian Mountains where they waited in vain for the support of the Western Allies. Thirty of them held their ground well into the 1950s. One was led by Ion Gavrilă-Ogoranu, who managed to remain undetected until 1976 when he was arrested. Constantin Popescu’s feature film depicts the daily existence of this group. With the strictness of protocol, it tells the story of a struggle that became an end in itself, as the enemy was constantly in pursuit and arrest meant torture and often liquidation. Hungry and emotionally withdrawn, the group of young men got entangled in a partisan war that could not be won, lost in the landscape of the South Carpathians, accompanied by a vigilant secret police, the Securitate. The everyday life of a hunt that was far from the heroism attributed to the glorified anti-communist resistance today. –Berlinale
