Synopsis

In 2005, after a boozy office party, Christian takes Manuela home and the end of the evening gets out of hand. Yet they continue to work together. Christian helps Manuela climb the ladder and makes her his partner. In 2015, a woman denounces Christian to the police: she claims to be a rape victim. Christian is a father, a loving husband, the company idolizes him, his inner circle benefits from his largesse and a culture of silence holds sway. What spark will give Manuela the strength to relive her trauma and speak for all those who couldn’t? How much longer will Emperor Christian’s domination and reign of terror last?
