## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

October, late afternoon. A single fluorescent tube flickers above a lawyer’s desk.

The lawyer hears the suspect calmly insist the murder never happened, yet every alibi dissolves under scrutiny.

A triple mirror of shifting stories no director since Rohmer has dared to hang unanswered.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, cerebral, paranoid
