The film concerns, as the title indicates, a reenactment. Two drunken teenagers get into a brutal bar fight and are brought before judicial authorities. Neither boy has had any prior trouble with the law, so the magistrate lets them off, but only on the condition that they film a reenactment of their fateful evening as a warning to other teens. In the course of the fictional filming, the youngsters experience very keenly their real feelings about their lives and the society they live in. It is based on a novel by Horia Patrascu, which in turn reflects real-life events witnessed by the author.
