Slovak premiere

A psychological courtroom drama inspired by the real-life case of one of Ireland’s most infamous unsolved murders – the 1996 killing of French filmmaker Sophie Toscan du Plantier. Almost the entire story unfolds within a single room, where twelve jurors engage in an intense debate over the guilt or innocence of the accused. As the discussion progresses, it becomes clear that their judgment is shaped not only by evidence, but also by personal experiences, emotions, traumas, and prejudice. Each juror brings their own understanding of justice into the room, leading to escalating tensions and constant challenges to the notion of “truth.”

Inspired by the legendary film 12 Angry Men (1957), the drama also examines how truth and the perception of reality shift during the reconstruction of a crime, and how easily people form simplified conclusions based on incomplete evidence. The film had its world premiere at the Tribeca Festival.
