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.
