In this 2009 film by Corneliu Porumboiu, Cristi is a policeman who refuses to arrest a young man who offers hash to two of his schoolmates. Cristi believes that the law will change; he does not want the life of a young man he considers irresponsible to be a burden on his conscience. For his superior the word conscience has an entirely different meaning. (115 min, NR, English subtitles)

American Romanian Festival Executive Director Marian Tanau and Ramona Uritescu-Lombard, an expert in Romanian cinema and lecturer in the German and Comparative Literature departments at UM, will introduce the film and host a Q&A after the screening.
