While people in Western Europe were used to choose between hundreds of brands, the communist Romania used to have a different experience: all our life we lived with only one brand for each basic product.
Imagine the importance that this ‘monobrands’ could acquire for the lives of those who made them and for the lives of those who consumed them. Relaxa the mattress, Dragasani sneakers, Pegas the bicycle, Mobra the motorcycle, the Fieni bulbs and Ileana the sewing machine, which were once the stars of the Romanian golden era, are now becoming the characters of our film. We selected six brands with spectacular destinies. They appeared approximately at the same time, along with the socialist industrialization. As overnight towns were built around the factories producing these brands, they have become the objects of desire for the Romanian daily life and dreams.
