Inspired by the bloody events of 1940, when the "Green Shirts" attempted to seize power, Petru Moldovan, an incorruptible commissioner, will investigate with cold-blooded determination and regardless of consequences, the crimes of the Legionnaire gang.
Synopsis:
Bucharest, November 1940. The Legionnaire regime is in full expansion. Commissioner Moldovan (Sergiu Nicolaescu) is tasked with investigating the assassination of political prisoners at Viraga prison on the night of November 26th to 27th. By appointing a politically unaffiliated individual to this case, the authorities hope to inoculate the public opinion with the idea that the police are carrying out their duty honestly. The government intends to cover up the case, but Moldovan is incorruptible and does not yield to pressures and intimidations. And, above all, he wants to bring the truth to light.
