Its mission is to decide whether the country can take its place in the European Union. The government deceitfully insists that there are no longer any political prisoners being held in Albania. The head of the delegation wants to be reunited with his childhood friend Leo. But Leo is a prisoner, for political motives. The authorities have to get him out of jail and present him as a honourable professor to keep the committee happy and the possibility of EU entry open. ª›· ÛËÌ·ÓÙÈ΋ ·ÓÙÈappleÚÔÛˆapple›· ÊÙ¿ÓÂÈ ÛÙËÓ ∞Ï‚·Ó›· ÙÔ 1990. ∞appleÔÛÙÔÏ‹ Ù˘ Â›Ó·È Ó· ·appleÔÊ·Û›ÛÂÈ ·Ó Ë ¯ÒÚ· ı· ÂÓÙ·¯ı› ÛÙËÓ ∂˘Úˆapple·˚΋ ŒÓˆÛË. ∏ ΢‚¤Ú- ÓËÛË ÂappleÈ̤ÓÂÈ apple·Ú·appleÏ·ÓËÙÈο fiÙÈ ‰ÂÓ ˘apple¿Ú¯Ô˘Ó appleϤÔÓ appleÔÏÈÙÈÎÔ› ÎÚ·ÙÔ‡ÌÂÓÔÈ ÛÙËÓ ∞Ï‚·Ó›·. √ ÂappleÈÎÂÊ·Ï‹˜ Ù˘ ·ÓÙÈappleÚÔÛˆapple›·˜ ı¤ÏÂÈ Ó· Í·Ó·‚ÚÂı› Ì ÙÔÓ apple·È‰ÈÎfi ÙÔ˘˜ Ê›ÏÔ ÙÔÓ, Leo. ∞ÏÏ¿ Ô Leo Â›Ó·È ÎÚ·ÙÔ‡ÌÂÓÔ˜ ÁÈ· appleÔÏÈÙÈÎÔ‡˜ ÏfiÁÔ˘˜. √È ·Ú¯¤˜ appleÚ¤appleÂÈ ÙÒÚ· Ó· ÙÔÓ ·appleÂÏ¢ıÂÚÒÛÔ˘Ó Î·È Ó· ÙÔÓ apple·ÚÔ˘ÛÈ¿- ÛÔ˘Ó Û·Ó ·ÍÈÔappleÚÂapple‹ ηıËÁËÙ‹ ÁÈ· Ó· ¢¯·ÚÈÛÙ‹ÛÔ˘Ó ÙËÓ ÂappleÈÙÚÔapple‹ Î·È Ó· ·Ê‹- ÛÔ˘Ó ·ÓÔȯÙfi ÙÔ ÂӉ¯fiÌÂÓÔ ¤ÓÙ·Í˘.
