Ștefan's 18th birthday presents are: a driving lesson, a bottle of vodka and an open-minded discussion about women, but an unexpected surprise turns around the anniversary.

Sibiu, December 1989. In the chaos and panic generated by the protests of the crowd against the authorities, a unit of the militia becomes the target of a violent assault that escalates into a bloody confrontation between soldiers, militiamen, security agents, and civilians. Trying to escape the siege, Captain Viorel of the militia is captured and accused of being a terrorist.
