In 1904, twenty-five-year-old Frieda Keller commits the unthinkable by killing her five-year-old son, leading to a riveting court case that questions how much of a victim lies within the perpetrator herself. This complex case played a pivotal role in shaping discussions around women's rights, the quest for a fairer society, and the need for criminal justice reform. Based on a true story that delves into themes of shame, ethics, morality, and the struggle for emancipation.
