Description : The video juxtaposes live audio recordings from Romanian radio and television during the December 1989 events in Bucharest with images of daily life (the morning ritual of a man grooming himself), in an attempt to understand the unaccountable. 1999, ten years later, everything seems to have returned to normality, the people, the city, the society, but clues as to what really happened in those days are still missing. What is left resembles an absurd theatre play. The audio track condenses into 22 minutes the four days between Ceausescu's flight from the Central Comity of the Romanian Communist Party and the execution of the presidential couple. 22 minutes is also the time required to prepare oneself for a new day. Is a revolution a new beginning or just a routine fresh start?
