Turning Tables
Mathilda (Barbara Sukowa), a staunch advocate of strict EU border controls, is suddenly faced with a moral crisis that challenges her core beliefs. When an old friend asks her to hide Malik, a Moroccan immigrant who has entered the EU illegally, she is drawn into a high-stakes situation that forces her to confront her personal demons. As tensions rise, a bombing incident links Malik to a terrorist investigation, putting both of them in grave danger. Meanwhile, Amina, Mathilda's second-generation immigrant assistant, grapples with her own convictions amid the chaos.
"Turning Tables" skilfully interweaves political intrigue with personal conflict, inviting viewers to delve into complex ethical dilemmas in a gripping, suspenseful narrative depicted on an individual and emotional note.
