Fiona, the heroine of the film, is a judge who is called My Lady in court. She has to try endless and complicated cases. At the same time, she has to face the media accusations of grandstanding in the society. It may also include the plaintiffs and defendants. hysteria.
Back home, her husband Jack gradually came to the brink of endurance because of her busyness and alienation. As a result, Fiona had to force herself to suppress her depression and hold out meticulous rationality.
At this moment, a difficult case appeared: the young Adam was suffering from leukemia. In order to treat him, the hospital hoped to give him a blood transfusion. But the sect that Adam’s family believes believes that blood transfusion is an act of polluting the soul, and instead of tainting faith, it is better to stick to the faith and go to heaven.
As a judge, should the law override the will of citizens in order to protect life, or should he respect the will and allow a young life to pass away?
