Emi Cilibiu, a history teacher at a prominent Romanian secondary school, decides to film an intimate moment with her husband Eugen. This seemingly private act sets off a catastrophic chain of events that will impact her professional and personal life.

Eugen uploads the sex tape to a private fetish site without considering the consequences. However, the video is soon downloaded and publicly shared across numerous pornographic websites, leading to widespread scandal and outrage.

As news of the video spreads, the staff and parents at Emi's school are scandalized by her actions. They organize a parent-teacher conference to discuss the implications of her behavior and determine her fate as a teacher.

The day before the parent-teacher conference, Emi runs various errands while grappling with her frustration over Romania’s societal issues. She reflects on the sexist, nationalist, and consumerist aspects of her culture, further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

A montage presents the director's definitions and observations about concepts related to the film. Some humorous clips contrast harsh realities, such as a modified folk dance for social distancing during the pandemic and satirical takes on historical events.

At the parent-teacher conference, Emi is met by administrators who inform her that the parents and teachers will be voting on her employment status. A sympathetic administrator warns Emi about the potential fallout of the vote.

During the conference, a vocal group of parents, including a retired army officer and a socially conservative priest, openly criticize Emi's behavior. Their comments reveal deep-seated sexism, xenophobia, and other prejudices, framing the discussion in a toxic manner.

Despite the mounting hostility, a few individuals attempt to support Emi, but their voices are largely drowned out by the chorus of condemnation. Emi attempts to defend her actions and teaching methods, invoking historical evidence to counter the disparaging remarks made against her.

The parents cast their votes on whether to retain Emi in her position as a teacher. With significant pressure and heated discussions among the parents, the atmosphere becomes charged with tension surrounding the ethics of her situation.

In one of the film’s alternate endings, Emi is acquitted by the vote of the parents and staff. However, this moment of relief is overshadowed by a physical confrontation that ensues, highlighting the lasting divisiveness within the community.

In another ending, Emi is convicted by the parents and is forced to resign from her teaching position. Stripped of her role, she leaves quietly, reflecting the unjust consequences of her private life being exposed.

The final alternate ending takes a surreal turn as Emi transforms into a superhero resembling Wonder Woman. In this bizarre scenario, she captures the most vocally opposed parents, forcing them into a humiliating situation that turns the narrative on its head.
