Summary: From Case Cover: The final fifteen years of the Ceausescu regime were the worst in Romania's history. Nonetheless, the propaganda machine of that time relentlessly referred to that period as the country's "golden age." Using the moniker as a starting point, Tales from the golden age spins the most popular, comic, and bizarre urban legends from that harrowing period into a hilariously surreal omnibus film. The movie re-captures the mood of a nation trying to survive under the twisted logic of a brutal dictatorship. It was an era when food was more important than money, freedom more important than love and survival more important than principles. Director Cristian Mongiu wrote the scripts and commisioned other Romanian filmmakers to collaborate with him on the project.
