Vidas provisionales

It is not easy to maintain an extramarital relationship if you are an official of a cultural institution in Romania in the 1970s. Under the yoke of Ceauscescu, when government control permeates everything, Sorin searches for love, and Letitia, an escape valve of his disappointing married life. In their clandestine meetings, both fantasize in vain about leaving behind the rigors of the regime and the fear that the true origin of their families will be discovered, which would compromise his position in the Party. Gabriela Adamesteanu immerses us in the delirious universe of communist Romania and, with extraordinary mastery, she delves into the moving fate of her protagonists, doomed to betrayal and lies.
