Emi is a schoolteacher in Bucharest whose life is thrown into turmoil when an intimate video of her and her husband circulates online. The recording shows two masked people, but Emi is identified as the woman in it. As the video spreads, her career and reputation come under threat, and the headmistress calls a meeting of parents who want her dismissed. Emi refuses to give in to their demands, turning the confrontation into a question about what society considers obscene and who gets to decide.
