Prosecuting Attorney David Lunga's success is overshadowed by the terrifying secrets of Rosa, a beautiful but mysterious woman with whom he falls in love. What mysteries does she hide? As the macabre facts unravel, David comes face to face with his own demons and is driven to prove his innocence, recover his reputation and, above all, clear his conscience.

Der Erfolg von Staatsanwalt David Lunga wird durch das schreckliche Geheimnis von Rosa überschattet, einer schönen aber mysteriösen Frau, in die er sich verliebt. Welche Geheimnisse verbirgt sie? Während die grausigen Tatsachen ans Licht kommen, wird David mit seinen eigenen Dämonen konfrontiert und ist getrieben davon, seine Unschuld zu beweisen, sein Ansehen wieder zu erlangen und vor allem sein Gewissen zu reinigen.


Director: Filipe Henriques
