Director's statement

With "Verdict", I wanted to follow a woman navigating a justice system that promises protection yet often prolongs suffering. The film centers on a mother pursuing a legal case against her abusive husband, confronting not only personal trauma but institutional indifference. I chose a restrained, close perspective, staying with her through courtrooms, waiting rooms, and moments of quiet exhaustion. The repetition of hearings and bureaucratic procedures reflects the emotional toll of seeking accountability in a system that moves slowly and unevenly. **Ultimately, the film suggests** that justice is not only a legal outcome but an endurance test, where dignity must be defended long before a verdict is ever delivered.
