    #1 - Bruckental Museum Robbery

    S1:E1

    Romania in 1968 was better guarded than Alcatraz prison. No one could move a finger without the knowledge of the Securitate. And the Bruckenthal Museum in Sibiu was one of the hotspots monitored by dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu's security service. Under these conditions, 8 very valuable paintings were stolen and taken out of the country.

    #2 - The Miracle of Maglavit

    S1:E2

    Was it a deception or did God speak to the people through a deaf-mute shepherd? In the summer of 1935, over 2 million people went to Maglev to see God. All the newspapers of the time wrote about Maglavit, a poor village in Oltenia, where the shepherd Petrache Lupu claimed to have seen and spoken to God. And then he began, like a deaf-mute, to speak to crowds of hundreds of thousands of people. There were only a few newspapers and most of the population couldn't read. Nevertheless, it turned into a mass pilgrimage, as big as the one at Lourdes. A huge amount of money was raised from donations and people claimed to have been cured of serious illnesses. Where is the money? Was Petrache Lupu a saint or a fraud? Was the whole movement suppressed or is this the story of a holy shepherd oppressed by the Communists?

    #3 - Death of Mihai Eminescu

    S1:E3

    Was he murdered, was he the victim of a political plot, the victim of malpractice, or did he really die of syphilis and severe mental illness? Mihai Eminescu (1850-1889) is the most famous and influential Romanian poet and journalist. He is described as a genius. At the age of 33 he was committed to a mental asylum. Coincidentally or not, on the same day, Romania changed allies, which was vehemently criticised by the influential journalist Eminescu. He died six years later. During this time he was hospitalised many times by his friends. Most of them supported the country's new foreign policy orientation. Conspiracy theories stem from the mercury treatment he was given in the last years of his life. There are at least 3 theories as to how Mihai Eminescu died. The first: the writer was poisoned with mercury, at the behest of his opponents. A second theory leads to the conclusion that Mihai Eminescu was misdiagnosed with syphilis and mental alienation.
