12:08 East of Bucharest follows a television-watching pensioner and a circle of residents in a small Romanian town as they relive and debate their town's alleged revolution. Broadcast footage from 1989 triggers a spontaneous local discussion, revealing how memory, pride, and anecdote shape civic identity more than documented history. The film’s patient rhythm and deadpan humor expose the tension between truth and perception in post-Communist Romania, with a quietly piercing social satire.
