Elisa
After a decade in prison for her sister's murder, Elisa barely remembers the crime. A criminologist helps her uncover buried memories, leading her toward potential redemption. Elisa, thirty-five, has been in prison for ten years, convicted of killing her older sister without apparent motive and burning her body. She claims to remember little to nothing of the crime, as if she had drawn a veil of silence between herself and the past. But when she decides to meet with criminologist Alaoui and take part in his research, in a tense and relentless dialogue memories begin to take shape, and in the pain of fully accepting her guilt, Elisa glimpses, perhaps, the first step toward a possible redemption. —hulchenko
