The main character is a defence lawyer who fights for the poor, gives money to the homeless and helps blind people across the street. Everyone admires his generosity. One night he sees a young girl falling from a bridge into the water, but he does nothing to try to rescue her. Why? He does not have an answer to this question. From this moment, the beautiful façade cracks. Reluctantly, he must confront his guilt and begins a relentless trial both of himself and his fellow men. Do our good deeds in fact derive from a selfish need of the recognition by other people? And how do we act when push comes to shove and we have something at stake?
