“This film is assembled exclusively out of Romanian advertisements produced during the post-socialist transition period. Having served a country newly emerged out of an economy of shortage as introduction to contemporary commodity culture, these ads all seem to communicate with one another despite their striking differences in style and product: they all depict a coherent fantasy world of fulfilled desires. Exploring the various facets of this utopian dream world with the toolkit of montage, the film turns the fictional and often ludicrous medium of advertising clips into a magnifying glass for the society’s desires, beliefs, hopes and fears.” (Radu Jude)
