Synopsis

1996. 5 years since the declaration of Ukraine’s independence. 5 months before the declaration of the death penalty abolition. The murdered cop is found in a lake. The wrong guy is blamed. Police are in a hurry to close the case before the abolition of the death penalty. Oleksandr is an honored psychiatrist in his last year before retirement. He has to play a key role in the investigation of a complicated case and sign the life-or-death decision. Will he risk his friendship and his career to save a young man from the penalty he doesn’t deserve?
