If these elements come together in a case an innocent citizen might be sent to prison. The film shows the court of law as a Kafka-esque building that, as a metaphor for the entanglement, is under reconstruction. The film refers to the Schiedammer Parkmoord in the Netherlands in which also an innocent man was sent to jail for years. ERIK DE BRUYN 2006 Nadine (corto, short), De getuige (corto, short) |
