In November 1985, Ursu was beaten to death in his prison cell by his room-mates. One of the aggressors was an informer working for the Militia and the Secret Service, the Securitate.
The film combines the interview where the latter gives his version of the story with Babu’s voice from an old recording made by one of his friends in Paris in 1978, and with the accounts of another of Babu’s friends, a Romanian SF writer living in Paris since 1967. Babu’s friends accuse the authorities for delaying this murder case. The story is told by the murderer, the victim and the victim’s friend. Only the murderer has survived. (Cornel Mihalache)
