Set in a country struggling towards democracy after years spent under an oppressive regime, a man's car breaks down on the highway and he is given a lift home by a friendly stranger. The man's wife, believing she recognises in the stranger the voice of the man who raped and abused her some years before, kidnaps him and decides to put him on trial. Can this charming stranger really be a sadistic torturer? Can the innocent really confess to crimes they didn't commit? And how far can an individual go in their personnel quest for justice and liberation from the nightmares of their past?
