Summary/Abstract: In the context of Romanian post-communism (or neo-communism), views and images about the past can be easily shifted or misremembered by the present state of affairs. Through the movie The Oak, director Lucian Pintilie attempts to refresh old dusty impressions about our own late-communist period. This essay is an attempt to touch upon personal history events and movie events in order to delineate what could be named as a version of authentic reality.
