A woman in her 40s, who has confessed to the murder of her brother-in-law, returns to the scene of the crime with the investigation team to reconstruct the murder. In the courtyard of their home, she reenacts the killing in front of her son. After the reenactment is complete, and at the request of the investigator, the boy recounts the events differently—offering another version of what happened.
