Cristi is a policeman who refuses to arrest a young man who offers hash to two of his school- mates. “Offering” is punished by the law. Cristi believes that the law will change, he does not want the life of a young man he considers irresponsible to be a burden on his conscience. For his superior the word conscience has an entirely different meaning.
