Fox: Hunter

Irina is a young teacher. She thinks for herself. That is what draws attention to her. The secret police put her under watch. The surveillance enters her daily life. Her flat is entered and her things are moved. The aim is to wear her down. The pressure is not open violence but a constant unease. Her friends are inside the net as well. The account falls just before December 1989. The rising in Timisoara is drawing near. The fall of Ceausescu brings joy. But for Irina the watching does not end. The account comes from the novel by Herta Muller. Oana Pellea and George Alexandru take the leads in the German and Romanian coproduction Stere Gulea made in 1993.
