A judge is on the verge of rendering a "lawful" but doubtful sentence in a sensitive case involving a high-ranking dignitary. As she struggles with a decaying system and her own inertia, an internal voice reminds her of Article 22: the sacred duty of a judge to persevere in finding the truth. In a visceral confrontation with her own conscience, she must decide: will she hide behind the safety of legal papers, or will she trigger the "apocalypse" that comes with uncovering a horrific truth? A sharp meditation on personal responsibility and the spirit of the law.
