A collection of individual stories set against the turbulent 1940s, a decade of political upheaval and of plain everyday life, spread over 103 days and nights. In the Dobrujan market town of Medgidia, which the story turns into a centre of the world, scenes from the war, the Iron Guard rebellion and the Soviet occupation unfold. Stirred by human passions and political fights over stakes large and small, the town could be any town in Romania, and the march of History is reflected, magnified into terror or into the grotesque, in the lives of its inhabitants.
