The facts of the case are interpreted in various ways: were they chasing a blameless citizen; did a tragic accident occur while arresting the perpetrator; or was the head of the department framed? The mother-daughter relationship is put to a difficult test. The politician, accustomed to success, is forced to reconsider her previous conception of the world.
