Summaries

The murder of a young woman's son sparks a pivotal moment in the fight for women's rights and political equality in early 20th century Switzerland, setting the stage for a historic court case.

In 1904, twenty-five-year-old Frieda Keller commits the unthinkable by killing her five-year-old son, leading to a riveting court case that questions how much of a victim lies within the perpetrator herself. This complex case played a pivotal role in shaping discussions around women's rights, the quest for a fairer society, and the need for criminal justice reform. Based on a true story that delves into themes of shame, ethics, morality, and the struggle for emancipation.—Condor Films Ltd.
