A heart-wrenching saga of living in a society where you can trust no one, yet are determined to use your voice to shine light on the darkness.
In a country governed by isolation, fear and a tyrannical dictator, 17-year-old Cristian is blackmailed into becoming an informer, but he decides to use his position to try to undermine the regime, give voice to fellow Romanians and expose to the world what is happening in his country.
