Dying in the trenches during World War II, Stefan looks back at his own life and that of his father. Through his memories, the film presents a story that embraces two generations and various eras. It is a film about the tragedy of lives dragged into conflicts against their will, of lives violently ruined or ended – a story about the devastating consequences of war. Interweaving past and present, the flashback narrative depicts the war as a perpetual situation where the “little people” always turn out to be on the losing side.

Double Ecstasy
★ 5.71998
MovieDrama
Constructed in the tone of a tragicomedy, the film, through the realistic situations it presents, excludes parody of any kind and leaves room for lyricism and humor. It also brings before the audience a story that will appear to us as something indifferent to the society in which it takes place, indifferent to the political and social, depending exclusively on the state of the individual himself. The double ecstasy has found a novel form of expression, the only undeniable fact. It was realized when Ion Iliescu was still "posing" as president of the country.
