The Trial of Klara Wendel

Directed by Valentin Merz

With Maxi Schmitz, Jeanne Werner, Emmanuel Martin, Simon Frenay and León David Salazar

The prisoner Klara Wendel was supposed to be deported from west to east Switzerland. But strange incidents occur during her transport, and all her companions disappear. Klara is found wearing a nun’s habit. To get to the heart of the matter, a tribunal is hastily set up in a barn. The judges want to find out how Klara has managed to escape and why she’s dressed as a nun. On trial by men, Klara somehow manages to take over and become the director of both the trial and the film.
