Movie Discovery of the Day: Frieda's Case (2024) by Maria Brendle

The film is based on the true story of Frieda Keller, a 25-year-old seamstress in early 20th-century Switzerland. In 1904, Frieda stands trial in St. Gallen, accused of murdering her five-year-old son, Ernstli, born out of wedlock. The case delves into themes of shame, morality, and the struggle for emancipation, questioning how much of a victim lies within the perpetrator herself. This pivotal trial significantly influenced discussions around women's rights, societal fairness, and criminal justice reform in Switzerland.
