NOTES
"Romania, 1989: In the last years under the dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, a man-eating bear is reported to be terrorizing the country. Amid the fear of official lies, the threat of informers, and the constant gray skies, gray buildings, and gray people, two bright lives collide: Constantin, an idealistic police detective who is tasked with solving the string of mysterious deaths; and Lia, a rebellious schoolgirl pining for some color in her life, who is drawn into a secret plot against Ceaușescu. The decisions they make will have vast consequences for them, for their families, and for their country."-- Provided by publisher
