Plot

A writer attends the trial of a young woman accused of leaving her baby daughter to die on a beach, and confronts her own relationship with her mother.

Sinekatalog’s take

Alain Gomis's drama follows a novelist attending the trial of a woman who left her baby to die. Austere, mesmerising and intimate, with two fine lead performances, it is a hushed courtroom study of motherhood and grief.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
