Despite that, year after year, she will try to understand, to go beyond her pain, and will undertake and unthinkable thing : meet the murderer of her son. The source of these meetings : Betty Brown, working on penitential administration. Un unthinkable program in most of the States, except in Iowa. A way to find answers for painfull victims. A shok treatment that makes you turn upside down and then calm down. Through the story of Cheri, but also the one of Cindy, it’s this confusing quest for peace that we follow step by step, an incredible model of courage and dignity in this very touching film. When talking is an answer to fear.
