Koletsev
Puncture the social abscess
long bow
On October 30, 2015, a serious fire broke out in the nightclub "Koletsev" in Romania, killing 27 people. The tragedy was heartrending, and the subsequent events caused a public outcry. The 37 surviving burn patients died of severe infection in the National Hospital. They were all young people, and their grieving parents crowded in the hospital to discuss their opinions. Faced with the question of non-standard disinfection, the TV news and the Minister of Health were still numb and official, declaring that "our conditions are fully in line with European standards, and there is no need to send patients abroad for medical treatment", and show the certificate of the official testing agency, check yourself . When the media was collectively silenced, the unprofessional Sports Bulletin assumed the responsibility of investigating, digging out the collusion between the disinfectant manufacturer and the hospital supervisor. The disinfectant was diluted with a lot of water and became ineffective. The government knew the inside story four years ago scandal. Angry people took to the streets to force the government to step down. The interim health minister was a non-partisan technologist who supported reporters’ investigations. More and more medical corruption was uncovered: hospital directors appointed by mayors paid bribes. Incompetent, greedy, fearless, not treating subordinates as human beings, embezzling relief funds up to 1,075 times. Many of his doctors "only care about money, they are no longer human", and they don't care if the wounds of burn patients are rotten and maggots grow. The new health minister lamented that the medical system was "rotten" and determined to reform, and proposed the establishment of a supervisory mechanism. Hospital directors should not hold administrative positions and operate for political interests. However, in the election a year later, the Central Plains party came to power again with an overwhelming advantage.
Colectiv is the name of the fire nightclub, translated into English is collective, that is, collective, common. Romania's ruling Social Democratic Party is the successor of the party that fell after the upheaval of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe in the late 1980s. Although Romania had already had elections and joined the European Union, the transition was slow, the people were generally disappointed, there was no enthusiasm for voting, and the elites went to Western Europe, leaving the country to corrupt bureaucrats. The narrative of the film is simple. Newspapers, press conferences and TV interviews hold up the whole scene. The first and second paragraphs follow senior journalist Katalin Tolentan, as well as the young and gentle, as well as the ideal and enthusiastic new Minister of Health Vlad Vakulay. Scoo's perspective unfolds. A sudden incident pierced the abscesses of the whole society. In the face of the election results and the populist media's advocacy of marketization as betraying the country, the new Minister of Health said disappointedly: "We have reached the den of criminals, but we have not returned." His father asked him to return to Vienna, not to wake up the country. In addition to grief and helplessness, there is also kindness and beauty. Investigative reporters are chasing after them. A doctor with a conscience bravely broke the news and acted as a whistleblower. A female artist who lost her palm and face in the fire showed her body in front of the camera. Beneath the scars, there is still beauty and hope.
