Nesrin is an idealistic criminal lawyer from a small town who spends her mornings in the courthouse and her evenings in the hospital by her mother’s side who lives connected to the respirator. On the day of the verdict hearing for a murder suspect whom Nesrin labored for for a long time, Nesrin learns that the suspect had actually committed the crime, but had done so for a good cause. Nesrin feels stuck in between feelings of law and justice. What will she do?
