Frequently asked questions

What is Police, Adjective about? Toggle content

In a small Romanian town, a young policeman named Cristi is tasked with investigating a high school student accused of selling marijuana. Cristi, however, questions the morality of punishing a teenager for a minor offense, especially when he believes the law is about to change. As he grapples with his conscience, he finds himself at odds with his superiors who have a very different interpretation of justice. A darkly comedic and thought-provoking satire on bureaucracy and the criminal justice system.
