A quiet, understated documentary that delves into local courtroom drama in a small town in Cameroon, West Africa, by following the state prosecutor and judge - both women - as they fight sexist attitudes and societal norms with a keen knowledge of the law, an acute desire for justice and their own firm brand of compassion. Shot over four months, the film delicately weaves together courtroom and small-town life, showing how brave personal battles are also profoundly political. We meet a woman who decides to end her cruel marriage and take her husband to court, and a young girl who accuses her neighbour of rape. Without fanfare, one simple camera puts you at the heart of these very intimate dramas that enthral, disturb and delight.
