The movie makes a docudrama of the 1977 earthquake in Bucharest into a communism propaganda for the efforts of the teams working in an hero-mode to save the trapped people, of the working class subject to such an unjust fate, to the organization of a nation's different organization (military, firefighters, miners, doctors, municipal administrators, people of all walks of like) around a nation-wide project to reconstruct the damaged buildings into a new shining city, and ending into a very deferential presentation of the heroes of the nation - the Communist Kapos - the Ceausescus.

Unfortunately, it taints a real drama, a real opportunity to talk about the real people and their take on the dramatic event, into a communist take on reconstructing the nation into a better self through joint efforts, for the betterment of each and every. Missing out the fact that in the end, there were clear shots of the "more equal" heroes of the nation, the nomenclaturists.
