Plot synopsis of the Falling Judgment
Sandra (Sandra Huller), Samuel (Samuel Theis), and their visually impaired son Daniel (Milo Machado Graner) spend a year living in a remote mountainous area. One day, Samuel was found dead outside the house, and the police immediately launched a suspected murder investigation. Under uncertain circumstances, Sandra is charged: Was it suicide or murder? A year later, Daniel attended his mother’s trial, which was also a real dissection of his parents’ relationship.
