Romeo, a doctor in a small town in Transylvania, has done everything to ensure that his daughter, Eliza, is accepted into an English university. All that Eliza, who is a very good student, now needs to do is a formality that shouldn't pose a problem: get her high school diploma. But Eliza is attacked and the precious door-opening exam now seems out of her reach. All of Romeo's life is then put into question when he forgets all the principles he has drummed into his daughter, between compromise and shady deals.
