Subiect

Eliza, an imminent student, is just about to graduate high school; she is supposed to do that with top grades in order to become the beneficiary of a scholarship in England. Her father, doctor Aldea, wouldn`t  accept the thought that she might miss this opportunity. One day the girl is assaulted in an attack by a sexual maniac – and that episode threatens to compromise this plan since it left Eliza psychically traumatized and with her right arm in a plaster cast. The doctor`s life, already in a marital crisis, gets complicated with every day that goes by. With great difficulty, he makes sure that his system of connections will ensure the girl`s grades: his friend, the policeman knows an influential person, a former director of customs, who, at his turn, knows the exam committee president who must help him because once he had helped him. At the same time, the doctor starts an investigation, on his own, in order to find the aggressor; he discovers that Eliza`s boyfriend is no stranger to that episode. It appears that his family know all about his supposedly secret extra-marital affair with one of Eliza`s teachers. The imminent leaving home, the death of the influent person and the arrival of the prosecution top the drama.
