A trial is demanded and not until the very last minutes of a tension-filled courtroom sequence is the situation resolved. Mr. [Gerard] Depardieu's closing speech becomes an unexpectedly stirring declaration. This Daniel Vigne film reveals much of human nature and the timeless elusiveness of truth. Dubbed.
