Without committing any crime, an important criminal judge finds himself a prisoner in his own office. Due to his risky work, he is receiving critical death threats. In order to protect himself, he will need to live under tight security, spending his days locked and away from his family and friends.

Inspired by true events, Inner Court explores the Kafkaesque labyrinths of Brazil’s judicial system—from the perspective of those trying to fight corruption from within. With several nods to the oneiric worlds of David Lynch, the film captures the claustrophobic nature of modern bureaucracy.
