In court, the custody of Alice’s children hangs in the balance. Terrified, she is determined to shield them from their father, yet within the cold, loophole-ridden machinery of the law, even a single misplaced word can prove decisive. Premiering at the Berlinale, this courtroom drama crafts its realism with precision: real lawyers appear in the sterile white chamber, while actors improvise their dialogue. With authenticity and restraint, the directors give voice to those we too seldom hear.
