Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Thirtysomething Marco goes through life without a compass. Employed at a Forbach recycling center, he finds comfort in alcohol. And a little with Madeleine, a mature woman with whom he secretly has a relationship. One day, he is drawn by lot to be a juror of Assisi. Incapable of discernment for himself, Marco will have to decide the life of a young arsonist accused of manslaughter.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
