Over the course of one year, the murderers killed Roma children and adults. Their aim was to victimize the Roma. The judicial hearings on this unprecedented and bloody series of murders started March, 2011 in Budapest, and ended at the 6th of August, 2013., Four men were accused by the state of committing the murderings with racist motivation. (63 gunshots, 11 Molotov-cocktails, 6 Roma killed, children among the victims, serious injuries) This film traces the fate of three Roma families who trust the judicial system to give them closure. They believe that the murderers - who killed their child, their grandchild, their spouse, their sibling - will be punished. They trust that the Hungarian state will protect them. Will these families achieve what they seek? What will be the outcome of the marathon, year-long trial? Can the Roma trust in the Hungarian justice system? How the wide spreaded racist attitudes influence the work of the members of the juridicary system, the police, the paramedics, doctors, the firefighters and the functioning of a whole country?, We show the hearings of the 2 and a half years long trial, basically staying in the Court-room, and show some intimate moments of our main characters in their private surrounding.
