Summary/Abstract: I was 20 in June 1990. A wonderful age. I was pretty, young and full of hope. Universităţii Square had taught me a lesson of what freedom and lack of constraints really meant. It had taught me how to laugh, how to cry, how to sing and how to rejoice. How to live during days and nights next to familiar and more often unfamiliar people, a sublime exercise of freedom. Of a ‘we cannot take it anymore’.
