As Andrei Blaier himself shares, the film is, among other things, a faithful screenization of The Decalogue; an ode to unseen humanity behind the wall of toughness in a hard-tried social system.
The supreme charlatan befriends the good, warm-hearted young man, absorbing him completely and, at the same time, following him, as if he is just learning to take his first steps; but he never confesses. He "knows" all about the world. He talks as if he invented it. In fact, he knows nothing.
"Through the Ashes of the Empire" is a story of knowing the good at a critical moment, when there seems to be no hope.
SYNOPSIS:
In mid-1917, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was on the brink of dissolution and the nations that had constituted it for centuries were rising up, demanding the right to self-determination. The fighting at the front, the deaths, the trenches, the casualties, the poverty, the insecurity, all paint a bleak and dehumanizing picture. It is against this backdrop that the main characters emerge - two fundamentally different beings with a common destiny: Darie (Gabriel Oseciuc), a young man with no life experience, a lame and naive boy, and a strange and cynical grown man, nicknamed The Diplomat (excellently played by Gheorghe Dinică), the kind of con man who has lived an seen a lot, versatile, treacherous, but proud, with pretensions of nobility.
