The year is 2000. Aleksandra, a young prosecutor, is handling a human trafficking case. A day goes by at the police station, where she has to conduct two interrogation sessions. In the first one, Aleksandra faces Andrius – a high- school friend turned suspect, who provokes and undermines her strategy, not leaving her any breathing space. In the second, she talks with Viktorija, the victim who has her own reasons to distrust law enforcement.
