a murder case

A real case inspiring a film about misogyny , superficiality, easy solutions in corruption sauce, a woman becoming scapegoat in a case of murder of a banker. The proofs - gossips of neighbors . A noble help to the women in delicate situations can help the accused. A prosecutor, at the first case, solving the situation, restoring the truth.

Well acted, well storytold. And a real powerful message , proposed by a real seductive way to translate in realistic story a case in which many traits of near reality of every day is clear and precise reflected.

In some measure, a film about loneliness of women in a world of men . And a beautiful eloge to the support of family.
