PORECLA „CĂRTURARUL" L-A CONDAMNAT LA OPT ANI DE FILAJ

Cluj, March 1982. A forty-one-year-old classical languages ​​professor teaches Latin and ancient Greek, writes letters to his sister who has left for Stuttgart, and gathers his reading circle on Thursday evenings. He has committed no crime, there is no trial, no criminal investigation. And yet, somewhere at the Cluj County Inspectorate of the Ministry of the Interior, an officer fills in the columns and opens an information surveillance file in his name, under the code name "The Scholar". A single typed phrase seals the years that follow: "element with connections in the disloyal intellectual environment, correspondence with relatives in the G.R.F." For almost eight years, every trip to the post office, every lunch, every book read ends up in double-numbered tabs. And on the cover of the file, a stamp covered in cracked blue paste hides a detail that should never have been read again — and which says for itself that the file traveled further than Cluj. The channel does not support any ideology and does not incite hatred or violence. We do not justify the crimes of communist regimes and do not romanticize terror, but try to speak lucidly about the price of the lack of freedom and about the moral choices of people within the system. All characters and stories presented are fictional or composite. Even if real historical places, organizations or events appear in the narrative, they are presented in an artistic form. Any coincidence of names or biographies with real people is coincidental.
