Plot

The marriage of a young working-class woman is jeopardized when she witnesses her brother-in-law's participation in a gang rape of an intoxicated woman in a neighborhood bar.

Michael, son of a prestigious family, and his friends rape young alcoholic Patty in a bar in front of many witnesses, but everyone looks away or leaves. The only usable witness the prosecutors find are Michael's brother Kevin and his wife Anna. Anna is beset by severe pressure from both her husband's family and the prosecution before, and even more after, her decision to testify.—Tom Zoerner <Tom.Zoerner@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>
