Rebeca, Iulia and Florin, a film crew with not much experience, decide to shoot a documentary about the mysterious Toni Oniga. They have heard about him from many friends and are very interested in meeting him. But he turns out to be very hard to find. The filmmakers get the impression that people don’t want to say where Toni Oniga is. They have only good things to say about him, that he was like salvation to them, but never go into any details. Things get more and more confusing. Is it possible that Tony Oniga is an urban legend and never really existed?

Bucharest, October 1989: a secondary school student disappears without a trace. Weeks later, he resurfaces at a meeting of the Communist Youth where he is denounced for certain "reprehensible actions" and excluded from the organization. As a result of the same "reprehensible" deeds he is expelled from the school. His schoolmates are never told what his actions actually were. "Notorious deeds, unworthy of being mentioned," is the only comment provided by a high-level communist party representative.
