About this episode
The episode explores Nicolae Ceausescu's early life, his first love, and his embrace of communism during a tumultuous youth in Romania.
Ceausescu vokser op i et hjem uden meget kærlighed, men lige om hjørnet lurer den første forelskelse - en forelskelse, som både er dragende og... forbudt. Ceausescu falder for kommunismen, og det sender ham ind i en tumultarisk ungdom i mellemkrigstidens Rumænien. Manus: Nicholas Durup Thomsen. Fortæller: Nicholas Durup Thomsen.
