A disturbing drama about the historical case of Frieda Keller and the beginnings of the Swiss women’s rights movement
In 1904, a chill runs through St. Gallen when the dead body of a child is discovered — especially it was the boy’s own mother who’d murdered him. How could a mother do that to her own offspring? In a high-profile court case, answers are sought and the status of women in patriarchal society addressed.
