The autocracy of Romanian president Nicolae Ceausescu permeated the country so strongly in the 1970s and 1980s that newspapers had to mention his name 40 times on every page, and thousands of factory workers lined up to spell out his name at huge shows as the economy plummeted. Director Ben Lewis's film captures the bizarreness of life in Romania during the dictator's 22-year regime.
