Nae Girimea, a barber from a late 19th-century Bucharest neighborhood, finds a new mistress, Didina. This event sparks the insane jealousy of his 'soulmate' mistress, Mita Baston, as well as that of the violent Pampon, Didina's official lover. Caught in this whirlwind of pursuit and punishment of the daring barber, all taking place during a carnival, is also Crăcănel, Mita’s official benefactor.
Directed by Aurel Miheleș, D'ale carnavalului leans on a strong ensemble — Grigore Vasiliu-Birlic, Grigore Vasiliu-Birlic, Alexandru Giugaru — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
