Brief synopsis:
di Krzysztof Kieslowski (Pol, 1988, 83') v.o. sott.it. mer 9 h 19,00 – 20,50
A senseless, violent, almost botched murder is followed by a cold, calculated, flawlessly performed execution, while the murderer's idealistic young defence lawyer ends up as an unwilling accessory to the judicial murder of his client. A youth randomly and brutally murders a taxi-driver. Piotr has just passed his law exams and been admitted to the bar. He is to defend Jacek, the young murderer. There is no evidence for the defence and no apparent motive. Jacek is put on trial, found guilty and executed by hanging. Piotr, after his first case, is left with the bitter
doubt does the legal system, in the name of the people, have the right to kill in cold blood?
