On October 30, 2015 a severe fire broke out in the night club Collective in Bucharest. That was one of the worst accidents in recent Romanian history with 27 dead and 180 injured people. In the next few days, intense protests erupted that eventually overthrew the then Social Democratic government. The director follows several key figures in the time after the disaster, that is, from the moment we find out that 37 of the injured in the fire later died as a result of a bacterial infection acquired in the hospital. Journalists discovered that hospitals use diluted disinfectants. We follow their statements and the statements of the Minister of Health in the interim technocratic government and the victims of the corrupt health system in a state that is not functioning. The director is not subject to sensationalism, but observes this emotionally charged story from the outside, revealing the dark side of corruption that is increasingly corroding his country.
