At the elegant concert scene, everyone was well-dressed and stared at the stage. Doctor Miranda sat in the auditorium on the second floor. He smiled and stroked his son's head with a fatherly face. Then he looked at the Gerardo couple in the auditorium on the first floor, and Gerardo looked at him with resentment, while his wife Paulina pretended to be calm and looked at the stage. The three had just gone through a trial and a trial not long ago. Miranda confessed on the edge of the cliff that she had used her identity and rights as a doctor to sexually abuse an underground rebel, Paulina, who was caught by the secret police during the dictatorship. crime. When he raped Paulina, he would play "Death and the Virgin" as an artistic bestiality, and he would shock Paulina's vagina just to see what would happen to a woman's vagina after being electrocuted. At that time, Paulina was the enemy of the government and a sinner who needed to be tortured, while Miranda was the "angel in white" who served the government to "save the wounded". This is the evil of human nature that he inspires when he has a sense of power and moral superiority in a dictatorial environment. But now, times have changed, circumstances have changed dramatically, and once sinners have become victims and witnesses, although most have died. And Miranda, the man who had committed such atrocities, is now well-dressed and polite, perhaps, at all times, he is so refined, he likes to quote Nietzsche, and when he is tried, he constantly insists that he will not say anything to women Rude words do anything rude, and that's the real him, and in that dirty room of conspiracy, it's another real him. Human nature will always inspire different aspects in different environments.

This is a trial of the plaintiff, the judge. The gun in his wife's hand holds the power of life and death and the right to speak like a dictatorship. Miranda has no chance to clear her name. The husband, a lawyer, was always at a loss as he insisted that this was not a fair trial. He was always participating in this angry trial as an outsider. His left and right sway began to tilt greatly after learning that his wife had been raped, which meant that he could not be a neutral judge. In the two months since his wife disappeared, the fact that the husband and his lover slept together was a knot in the heart that the wife could not open. On the night of the trial when there is no turning back, the wife will temporarily drop the charges against Miranda and question her husband if she loves the lover, and even point the husband at gunpoint for a love trial. The gun gave the wife rights she never had. As she said to her husband, if I hand you the gun, you won't listen to me. The wife wants a confession, a confession, this is the only thing she cares about and can do. She can't retaliate with her own way, because a woman cannot rape a man. And her husband can't rape another man on her behalf, so she only needs one confession, which can't heal the pain, but she has to do something. Finally confronted with Miranda's confession, this immoral, unjust trial brought the truth. Instead of pushing him off the cliff, they turned away silently. A night of tug-of-war is silent after an unreserved confession, and life goes on, just no more light.
