    profound usefull

    It is not the most comfortable subject and , for many reasons, it is not the expected film. Because it propose not a case or a story or a page of history but a sort of way for understand, using different perspectives, a situation more dangerous than delicate. A film about law and vulnerability. Maybe not great or impressive but profound honest. Not a demonstration but a portrait of people front to blackmail, examinating risks, fair attitudes, right reactions. So, an admirable job in profound sense and absolutely usefull.
