'I've been summoned, Thursday, ten sharp.' So begins one day in the
life of a young clothing-factory worker during Ceausescu's
totalitarian regime. She has been questioned before, but this time
she knows it will be worse. Her crime? Sewing notes into the
linings of men's suits bound for Italy. 'Marry me', the notes say,
with her name and address. Anything to get out of the country.As
she rides the tram to her interrogation, her thoughts stray to her
friend Lilli, shot while trying to flee to Hungary; to her
grandparents, deported after her first husband informed on them; to
Major Albu, her interrogator, who begins each session with a wet
kiss on her fingers; and to Paul, her lover and the one person she
can trust. In her distraction, she misses her stop and finds
herself on an unfamiliar street.And what she discovers there
suddenly puts her fear of the appointment into chilling
perspective. Bone-spare and intense, The Appointment is a pitiless
rendering of the terrors of a crushing regime.
