Young detective Cristi is surveilling a teenager suspected of drug trafficking. Convinced that the law is unjust, he hesitates to make the arrest, afraid of ruining the boy’s life. Porumboiu targets the bureaucratic inertia of post-communist society in this striking film noir, poised between philosophical reflection and caustic black humour, in which every word carries weight.
