Overview:
A moving coming of age story in a time of extreme change: on August 23, 1944 in a small city in Romanian Transylvania, the 16 year old Felix Goldschmidt awaits his classmates for their traditional Exitus Party (school graduation). However, this very day the kingdom of Romania takes leave of its ally of many years - Nazi Germany - thus ending the 800 year old, highly successful story of ethnic German immigration at the feet of the Carpathian Mountains. It is a great story of young people's blindness to the rise of Fascism, the destruction of bourgeois values, a first love and shattered friendships.

The film follows the daily experiences and dreams of the residents of a specific type of seclusion of freedom in which the convicts assume the maintenance of the space, the control of their own activities and their security.

Even in the 1970s, films were made in this country that emphasized not only the necessity to defend the impermeability of the Western borders by all means, but mainly rehabilitated the Stalinist era. Told with ridiculous patheticness, the story is set in 1951 and takes place in army circles, depicting the disputes over the most effective air defence of the border... It chooses to depict the working disputes between an experienced, but already mentally stagnant general and a young politruk who advocates a modern conceptual solution to the common task.
