While several of them are set in the late 1980s, near the end of Nicolae Ceaușescu's totalitarian rule over communist Romania, exploring themes of freedom and resilience (''4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days'', ''The Paper Will Be Blue'', ''The Way I Spent the End of the World'', ''Tales from the Golden Age''), others, however (''The Death of Mr. Lăzărescu'', ''California Dre ...
