Cristi is a policeman refusing to arrest a young man who offers hashish to two of his school mates. ‘Offering’ is punished by the law. Cristi believes that the law will change, and he does not want the life of a young man to become a burden on his conscience. For his superior the word conscience has a totally different meaning …

“I wanted to make a film about language, about its meaning or, better yet, about its lack of meaning. Behind the words, there’s the dictionary; in the past, behind the words there was God, but that’s a world my characters no longer have access to.” – Corneliu Porumboiu

This is Corneliu Porumboiu’s second feature film, after his debut with the critically acclaimed ‘12:08 East of Bucharest’, winner of Camera d’Or award at Cannes 2006.
