The Witness Position

Film

One evening at 19:04, a hand on her shoulder pulls a woman back from an oncoming bus. A week later, with her arm in a sling and her lawyer at her side, she enters a vast white hall where her accident is rebuilt from camera footage and data. All the operator needs is her consent. It’s standard. But when she touches her own frozen copy, she finds herself somewhere else, in a closed New York bar where time stopped long ago, and three men are discussing what she’s worth.
