Justice for a murderer is built around a real event that shocked Colombia: the rape and murder of an indigenous girl by an architect from a highly influential family in Bogotá. In the immediate aftermath, the family’s lawyer approaches the caretaker of the building where the murder took place, trying to get him to testify in favor of the killer. The outcome of their meeting will decide whether justice is done in the case and to what extent.
A performance that peeks through the shadows of Colombia, more similar to Romania’s shadows than we’d like to think.
