A provocative psychological drama which raises a question of the blurry lines between the democratic principles of free media, interest of the public and the right of an individual for a second chance

Martin committed a murder at the age of 16, when he was an underage boy with an undiagnosed sexual deviation. Released due to the general amnesty of the president, he is unexpectedly facing freedom in a totally new world from the time he was just a kid under Communist regime. Under a new identity, Martin wants to start a new life, but his release sparks public outrage and the public television, which is also newly free and wants to imitate reporting style of the western role models such as BBC, decides to track him down and confront him with his old past.
