In the chaotic days of the 1989 Romanian revolution, the Transylvanian city of Sibiu becomes a violent epic-center of clashes between the police, army, secret service, and civilian protestors. In a desperate attempt to escape the siege, Police captain Viorel is captured and thrown into an empty swimming pool alongside hundreds of prisoners accused of terrorism. Freedom is a direct and condensed historical drama that uses a documentary-like approach to these dramatic events.
