Reviews in German: "Nach dem Tod ihres Vaters, eines ehemaligen Securitate-Offiziers, macht sich eine junge Frau aus Bukarest in die Provinz auf, um eine Stelle als Lehrerin anzutreten. Die Reise wird zu einer Kette privater und gesellschaftlicher Katastrophen zwischen denen nur die Liebe zu einem unangepassten Arzt Hoffnung bietet. - Eine apokalyptisch gestimmte Schilderung der letzten Phase des Ceaucescu-Regimes und der Selbstbehauptungsversuche zweier Aussenseiter in einer Normalität aus Terror, Verunsicherung und Gleichgültigkeit. Ein filmischer Aufschrei, der sich mit grimmigem Humor gegen die Hoffnungslosigkeit stemmt. (KFD Film-Dienst 30146 07/1993)
