“只希望能手牵手在太阳下散步”，这个象征故事内核的绝望念想，有如一个美丽的幌子，随着无数凌乱、压抑、悲凉的故事片段像纪录片一样一一还原：没有痴痴相思，没有海枯石烂，只剩下一个冰冷绝望的诡计，最后一丝温情也被完全抛弃，万千读者在一曲救赎罪恶的凄苦爱情中悲切动容……

The defense and the prosecution have rested and the jury is filing into the jury room to decide if a young Spanish-American is guilty or innocent of murdering his father.

An ailing famous barrister agrees to defend a man in a sensational murder trial where his self-possessed wife's unconvincing testimony confuses him.
