Who got rich after 1989, and how: a story of the corruption running through Romania’s political class and its hidden ties to the old Securitate under its many new names, of underground power games and the fight for top places in the new hierarchies. Into this delirious, immoral world are drawn honest but naive people who fail to see in time that they have become tools in the hands of those deciding their fate. Like the main character, they let themselves be carried along, make compromises and sometimes sacrifice family, profession, ideals and conscience. Virtue Road, lined with grey blocks in the Militari district, leads nowhere.
