I love the way of attacking the plot, meeting the charaters distracted, in events far from the facts (great actress Luminita Gheoghiu is dancing, or at the opera, when she is beated by the plot). In the end there's is another approach, frontal, almost melodramatic.

Cornelia, a middle-aged high society architect, is informed by her sister-in-law that her son Barbu has killed a child in a traffic accident, and both immediately proceed to the police station where he is being held for questioning. They barge into the interrogation, all the while phoning useful contacts, and manage to change Barbu's statement, after which they take him back to his parent's house. In the following days, Cornelia develops various schemes to get Barbu off the hook of a trial, receiving unexpected support from Barbu's girlfriend Carmen, even though they thoroughly hate each other.
