**About the Film:**
Mihai Grecu’s provocative documentary “Nicolae” takes you on a journey into a post-factual era. Experience how the return of the dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu—as a hologram—casts the villagers of Rahau, witnesses of a bygone era, into a state of uncertainty and reflection. Their responses reveal the thin line between past and present, and how technology today can be wielded as a powerful instrument of political influence.
In the year 2021, the dictator who died in 1989 reappears as a hologram to address the inhabitants of a small Romanian village. What unfolds is captured in a hybrid documentary that observes the impact of this extraordinary encounter on those involved—many of whom lived through Ceaușescu’s regime firsthand. “Nicolae” challenges viewers with a post-fact experiment, using the dictator as a catalyst for reflection. The reactions it provokes offer profound insights into how the people of Rahau—the village where Grecu grew up—view contemporary politics and democracy as a whole. Grecu’s film is a disturbing meditation on the potential consequences of technology already in use for political purposes and propaganda—an issue we are certain to see more of in the years ahead.
