The network of young Romanian spies was well infiltrated throughout all neighbourhoods in Bucharest: at schools, in their families and other private settings during the 1980's. Not only did they spy on their friends at school or their teachers, but also on their families. "The children of Ceaucescu" represent the generation of sacrifice. Thirty years after the violent execution of the head of state, access to the files created by the Securitate, or the secret police, can be studied. It would all but seem that some Romanians have preferred not to leave any trace of their allusive tradition. (Tampere Film Festival)
