The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe jurors appear trapped: no one will change his vote, yet sending the case back to court feels dangerous. To challenge the prosecution's memory argument, one juror asks another to reconstruct an ordinary night at the movies. The experiment is calm, precise, and quietly devastating, turning a debate about an alibi into a lesson about confidence, pressure, and the limits of memory.
