Three international films explore the theme of the rule of law and its implications, revealing the corruption and cynicism within legal systems. The narrative of I'm Still Here portrays a family's confrontation with the brutalities of a military dictatorship in 1970s Brazil, highlighting the complexities and fears ingrained in daily life. The characters grapple with the political chaos around them, resulting in tragic consequences as loved ones are taken by authorities, reflecting the dire need for impartial justice in oppressive environments.
In both Santosh and The Prosecutor, set respectively in rural India and urban Hong Kong, the cynicism and corruption of legal systems are laid bare to idealistic protagonists.
Despite the political turmoil, which includes regular kidnappings of foreign ambassadors by dissidents, the family of Rubens and Eunice Paiva exists in material comfort and happiness.
