Karla
"Karla" tells the true story of a 12-year old girl in Munich 1962 who takes the courageous step of filing a complaint against her father, seeking protection from his years of abuse. As she navigates the legal system, she forms a unique bond with Judge Lamy, who becomes her beacon of hope. Karla's reluctance to reveal the full extent of her suffering gradually forces Judge Lamy to give her the freedom to tell her story on her terms, putting his own career at risk. Ultimately, Judge Lamy's unconventional ruling reflects a moral imperative that transcends legal constraints and is a poignant reflection on justice and empathy in the face of trauma.
