The Case You

The Case You
The Case You.

Sinopsis

Alison Kuhn directs five young actresses on an empty stage. The six of them were harassed and sexually assaulted on a film set, under the guise of an audition four years before. They act out their memories: sexual assault, intimidation and bewilderment. The anger, shame and guilt they went through are narrated in parallel by the actresses in passages sometimes sober, sometimes very emotional. The Case You demonstrates the abuse of power in the industry in a way rarely seen.
