Synopsis

Face to Face

A protest writer, the glory of dissidence, learns that her husband was a Securitate informer for 20 years. Press and TV make the story the headline of the day. In 24 hellish hours, the couple re-evaluate their lives to decide how and if they can go on.

Their friends are horrified, and regret is setting in. They start plotting their revenge— and before they know it, they’re staging an off-Broadway play…
