Cristi is a policeman who refuses to arrest a young man who had offered hashish to two of his school mates, although “offering” is punished by the law. Cristi believes that the law must change, and he does not want the life of an irresponsible young man to be a burden on his conscience. But his superior attributes a different meaning to this same concept of “conscience” and its ethical implications.
