David, a university professor, takes to social media to criticize his city’s administration. But instead of the mayor’s dodgy dealings being investigated, David is himself accused of embezzlement and placed under house arrest. Despite the overbearing surveillance, double-crossing acquaintances, and growing media interest, he remains defiant and will not apologise. With the court case drawing ever nearer, does David have any hope of winning this battle against Goliath?
Presented at the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes Film Festival and at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival.
