This is a movie I discovered only recently, when it was broadcast on TV. It is a very well-written story of a group of around 10 women working as telephone operators taken into a forest near Bucharest around the end of WWII, to help with the military communication. It was written by Francisc Munteanu, one of the most professional screenwriters Romania ever had. The women, beautifully portrayed by the well-cast actresses, were each nicely individualised, thus the story, in spite of its powerful pro-communist propaganda, is still vivid and human today. The main asset of the movie is probably the film's image, signed by the newcomer Cristian Comeaga, now also a respected producer.
