"Is fear an excuse for dishonest acts?" A magnetic courtroom drama full of profound and still valid ideas, in which Karel Höger sits silently and listens to witness testimony most of the time, but his acting is all the more remarkable. However, the prosecutor played by Vladimír Ráže and the former doctor Dana Medřická are equally, if not more, the shining stars of the production. It’s just a pity about the title, which actually gives away the point. (25/08/2016)
