Storyline
On the night of August 26, 1990, the headquarters of the Bulgarian Communist Party in Sofia, Bulgaria, was set on fire. For 15 years, the case was kept from the courts, and finally it was closed.

The documentary invites the audience to become the jury in a trial that never took place.

Awards
In 2009 the film was awarded the Prize of the Bulgarian National Film Archive at the XVII Documentary Film Festival.
