The film follows Sami, a visual artist and observer behind the camera who steps out to engage directly with reality during tense street protests that erupt in the center of Bucharest. As he gets caught up in the chaos of the civil upheaval, the line between being a passive witness and a participant blurs, leading to a confrontational encounter with the gendarmerie.
Much of this Romanian “thriller” seems to have been shot on hand-held home video equipment or a phone. I think that is intended to make the action seem realistic (see the plot summary above).
