The young director Mariana Marin is planning a large-scale, radical theatrical performance on Romania's involvement in the Holocaust.Under General Antonescu, massive anti-Semitism in Romanian society was declared the official policy of annihilation, but its role and that of his government in World War II is still glorified today. Nobody wants to know anything more about the mass murder of that time. With a re-enactment of the events of that time the play is supposed to shake up the audience, but even before the premiere numerous problems show up: there is displeasure among the extras, an envoy of the city government wants to censor the play and also in Mariana's private life not everything goes smoothly. The performance, conceived as a wake-up call, gradually turns into a farce...
