The chief of a provincial Militia station assigns one of his subordinates to night duty in order to “visit” his young wife. Two sergeants of the chief’s staff are aware of their boss’s sexual escapades and do whatever it takes to cover him. It all starts almost innocently, but the spiral of lies leads to serious crimes. Everyone knows everything; no one has a winning move.
