The Verdict in the Case of K.
Austria2020fiction30'Konkurs krótkometrażowy (2020)
The court verdict for a rape on a 17-year-old girl during a young people’s party filmed by the perpetrator’s friend using a mobile phone does not close the case. The trauma of the victim as well as her family remains. It is the sigma that everyone will have to learn how to live with. Yet, its perception is different for everyone – the teenage girl, her brother and society. "The Verdict in the Case of K." is a mature, balanced and psychologically credible wise film whose message becomes stronger when it shows, with increasing calm and distance, the consecutive stages of the breakdown of a loving and caring family. Understatement can be heard the loudest here.
