The New Year That Never Came

Bay Area Theatrical Premiere.

On December 20th, 1989, Romania stands on the brink of revolution. The streets are alive with demonstrations, students mock the regime through art, and New Year’s shows glorify Ceausescu. Yet, behind closed doors, families grapple with personal conflicts and the omnipresent Secret Police. Six seemingly disconnected lives intersect in unexpected ways. As tensions reach a boiling point, an explosive moment brings them together, culminating in the dramatic fall of Ceausescu and the communist regime.

The movie is 2 hours and 18 minutes long; attendees can decide if they want to go to eat afterwards; there are several places within walking distance.
