Summaries

A dark comedy about a man who, against his will, dedicated his life to the fight for justice.

Poet Leonard Unden is persuaded by a fan to make a media appearance in support of her son, on trial for murder. It is only when 'Selvin's case' becomes one of worldwide interest that Unden realizes - too late - that this was not a miscarriage of justice, but a real murderer.—EuroFan
