剧情介绍
终于受不了丈夫的暴力相向，妻子抱着受伤的六岁女儿，满脸鲜血、鼻青脸肿地跑入警局求援。她要的不多，只求一纸判决伸张正义，可是比起家暴的皮肉疼痛，冗长官僚的菲律宾诉讼体系，更如心灵凌迟，令人绝望难忍。司法非关真相、非关正义，只关乎哪一方更能在法官面前舌粲善辩、搬弄法条。然而无论加害方或受害方，都将在这场为求胜诉、投注大量时间与金钱的困兽缠斗中，付出沉重代价⋯⋯。
菲律宾新锐编导雷蒙里贝古特列兹，师承电影大师曼多萨，将获奖短片延伸成首部长片作品。家暴事实历历在目，正义却渐行渐远，十足张力让人看得义愤填膺又莫可奈何。手持摄影与表演完美搭配，观众有如贴着角色呼吸，在拥挤闷热难熬的现实泥泞里，共感奋力一搏的挣扎喘息。 Joy and her six-year-old daughter Angel live in Manila, with her husband, Dante, a small-time criminal. As so often in the past, Dante comes home drunk at night and beats Joy brutally. This time, he also hurts Angel. Joy grabs her daughter and flees to the local police post to finally get him sent to jail. Joy learns that justice takes time at best and is impossible to get at worst. Not without reason, she feels that she and her daughter are increasingly under threat.
