Plot synopsis
The Constitution of Russia guarantees the judicial protection of an individual’s rights and freedoms. But in reality, people who speak out against the state most often face a guilty verdict. The repressive machine is opposed by a team of human rights lawyers, who continue to work even in the conditions of darkness gathering over the country. A detailed documentary by Masha Novikova describes their everyday life and tells the stories of their clients.
