Synopsis / Plot

Respectable Police Commissioner Josephine reinvestigates an insignificant murder case of a 11 years old girl. The murderer is the mother of the victim, Becky. Under intense interrogation, Becky refuses to admit that she knew all along that her boyfriend was raping her little daughter at home.

The harsh interrogation drives Becky into killing herself. What is the truth that the raging Commissioner is trying to find out? What is the seeemingly defenseless mother hiding? Or is she actually telling the truth?
