This terrible and moving drama is the story of a mother of four children who finds herself on the dock in Court for murdering her husband, a man who beat and tortured her throughout the 17 years of their marriage. Terrified, living a nightmare under her own roof, Alexandra tried everything to break free or get help without endangering her kids. In vain. Utterly alone in her struggle, she finally fights back and kills her husband to stay alive and save her children.
Relating the three-day trial of a woman with everything to lose, we are plunges into the everyday life of Alexandra, showing how society has failed to protect her and her children from the clutch of her husband.
