Synopse
Faces full of sadness, faces full of anger. A very topical political drama. "Macron demission" – "Macron, resign". Two words that change the world. Chiara sprays them at her school. A protest by a young woman against the president of her country. No more, no less. Yet a few hours later Chiara is dead in a police cell. A family, a class of children, a school and a nation are traumatised. Is this the reaction of a democracy to criticism? Nathan Nicholovitch’s film is based on real cases and focusses on the aftermath. In the conversations of bereaved relatives and friends, he sensitively observes how things start to change – from incomprehension to anger.
