In her fictional debut, Alice Diop ("Nous") draws on real events to compose a breathtaking courtroom drama, without offering easy solutions, but triumphing through the contradictions of the heroines, social stereotypes and post-colonial France.

Synopsis

A writer begins to question her "beliefs" as she attends the trial of a young African-American woman accused of being responsible for the death of her 15-month-old daughter.
