CAST & DIRECTOR
Directed by Wiebke von Carolsfeld. With Pascale Bussières, François Arnaud, Peter Outerbridge.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT
A criminal defence lawyer, Sam, (Pascale Bussières, Ma Vie en cinémascope, When Night is Falling), finds herself kidnapped and abandoned on a remote island along with former client Paul (François Arnaud, Heated Rivalry, Fucktoys, The Borgias), who she previously cleared of sexual assault charges. As they make their way through the unrelenting Canadian wilderness, Paul’s behaviour forces Sam to question the man she once defended. As doubt gives way to fear, she finds herself facing a choice no lawyer should ever have to make.
