    Whether the abolition of the death penalty is hypocritical or charitable appears to be an indistinguishable ethical question. From the personal point of view of victims, experiencers and facilitators, it appears real and meaningful. The performance of the actor and actress is too strong, and the slight flaw in the rhythm of the story itself is insignificant.
