Six people find themselves in the eye of the storm without realising it.
A TV director has to find a way to save his New Year's show after the key actress defects. The solution lies with a distressed theatre actress who can't reach her ex-boyfriend in mi.oara.
Meanwhile the director's son, a student, plans to flee to Yugoslavia by swimming across the Danube.
Watching the son is an officer of the Securitate secret police, who struggles to move his mother from her soon-to-be-demolished house to a new apartment she cannot stand.
The move is being executed by a factory worker, who panics after his son writes a letter to Santa Claus that reveals his father wants Ceau.escu dead.
All these lives, under constant and invisible surveillance by the Securitate, converge in a tragicomedy that climaxes with the bang of a firecracker in an highly unlikely pair of hands, effectively kicking off the revolution.
