Banned for ten years and released after the Romanian Revolution, the film is based on Caragiale’s play “Carnival’s Scenes” and explores the universe of peripheral petty bourgeoisie. A world of concreteness and color, stirred by petty problems, be sentimental affairs, a world of dubious morals which assumes noisily yet sincerely its passions. A mean world, with a mean language and a narrow mind where Didina, the kept Woman of Pampon, is in love with Nae Girimea, the barber and the Don Juan of his district. But Nae is also the lover of Mița Baston, in turn the mistress of Crăcănel. A letter of Mița’s will raise scandal…
