The exact circumstances are a bit unclear-I think the husband uploaded the video to a private server, and some unknown third party downloaded it and put it up where the general public could see it-but for narrative purposes, they don't matter, because while the movie is concerned with whether Emi will lose her teaching job over the video (the entire film takes place in the lead-up to her inquisition) it's all just the means to an end: showing the contradictions and hypocrisies of Romanian society. The main character is Emi Cilibiu ( Katia Pascariu), a secondary schoolteacher who makes a porno video at home with her husband only to have it escape onto the Internet (as such videos tend to do). As it turns out, this is the sort of scene that could have appeared in this wry feature from Romanian director Radu Jude, which won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival.
