Condemnation (film)

The narrative of the film is conventionally divided into two parts. The first part tells about a middle-aged architect named Lorenzo, who once at night in a museum closed to visitors at this time of day seduces a young student Sandra and enters into intimate intimacy with her. After some time, Sandra sues Lorenzo in court, accusing him of having committed rape (as it turned out, the architect had previously prepared the keys to the place where he committed the act of intercourse with a young girl). During the trial, Lorenzo insists on his innocence, citing as an argument in his favor, Sandra's desire to have sexual intercourse that night and the absence of elements of violence in the case. In the second part of the film we are talking about the agonizing doubts of the prosecutor, who represented Sandra's interests at the trial.
