当你无法 salvaging your own soul and self, how can you cling onto a crumbling marriage? Bernadine is the prison warden responsible for overseeing death row inmates, faithfully carrying out executions in a highly fortified prison for years. The weight of her job has made her numb, and her relationship with her husband has grown more distant by the day. However, when she develops a connection with young death row inmate Anthony, her repressed emotions are awakened once again, forcing her to confront complex and conflicting moral dilemmas, struggling and reflecting on what is right and wrong. Is the death penalty ethical? What does it mean for an executioner to be authorized to take a life under the law? Chinoï Echehoh beautifully captures a non-conventional prison film that stirs the heart and delves into the depths of human nature, becoming the first African-American female director to win the prestigious Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival with this film.
