The Witness Ioana Maria Uricaru, 16:56

Sam, a neuroscientist and specialist in neuroimaging, is called to testify as an expert witness in a criminal trial and becomes caught in a network of intense emotions that don't always agree with his scientific findings. His greatest challenge will be to separate his emotional allegiances and his professional ones, while staying true to both.
