Description
There were very few women practising law in Venice in 1921. Even fewer of them are married. A Venetian law firm hires Rachele Modiano Mendes almost as a bet. She must be better than everybody else just to be credible.
She wins the confidence of her boss. However, she needs to win over a magistrate who praises her “masculine” brain but is convinced that she is just a young woman from an aristocratic family who works as a hobby to prove a point.
She will have to face that magistrate in court. A civil case to protect the name of an art expert snowballs into fraud, blackmail, and suspected death. To support her client, and win over the magistrate, she needs to see through anything that might give a false representation of reality, like reflections in the water. In a professional world dominated by men, Rachele's quest for justice becomes a personal journey of determination and self-discovery.
