In the darkest years of the Ceausescu dictatorship, Romania's authorities brought all foreign information under strict control, which meant that major international sporting events disappeared from the screens of the country's only television channel. Large crowds of interested viewers would climb nearby hills and mountains with improvised antennas capable of receiving broadcasts from neighboring Hungary, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria, to catch a glimpse of the free world. The documentary evokes this unique era and phenomenon through personal experiences, stories, and recollections.
