- Based on a true story. Lucia is a nurse, charged with murdering patients. Ambitious Judith (29) works for the Public Prosecutor. When Lucia’s case is put on trial, Judith is obsessed with getting her behind bars and succeeds. Then, when a doctor tells her that the little evidence she has is unreliable, Judith starts to question the whole lawsuit and her own actions. With the help of others, she succeeds in setting Lucia free after six years of imprisonment.
