Bullet in the Head

Synopsis

Ion is an apparently normal guy. He gets up in the morning, has breakfast, organises his things and meets with group of solicitors. He meets a girl at a party one night and they spend the night together in her apartment. His life does not include any special events. A phone call from a phone box; meeting with a friend; simple and unimportant every-day situations. But one day he gets into a car with another two people. They cross the border to France. They spend the night at a couple's house. On the next morning they kill two off-duty civil guards in an accidental encounter at a road coffee bar.
