Our Director

The film takes place in an invented institution whose name is nothing but initials. Life there runs quietly and nobody stirs anything. A prize ceremony upsets all of it and the order of the place is shaken. What follows is about how the clerks adjust to the new situation. The film aims at bureaucracy and at the morals of an institution. When it came out it was sharply attacked; the satire was found too accurate. After that the director Jean Georgescu was kept from making films for a period. Even so the film was seen by more than a million and a half people in Romania. Alexandru Giugaru and Grigore Vasiliu-Birlic appear in this Romanian film of 1955.
