Title: Acrimony
Storyline: 'Acrimony' is a student-produced courtroom drama centered around a lawyer who finds himself facing a deep moral conflict when his brother’s former high school bully ends up in court for a crime he might not have committed.
Caught between personal resentment and the pursuit of justice, the lawyer must navigate legal ethics, buried emotion, and the weight of his past. As the case unfolds, minor characters like a disillusioned magistrate and a shaken key witness bring further depth to the courtroom’s emotional complexity.
This short film explores the human element in legal proceedings and is ideal for actors who enjoy character-driven performances and thought-provoking themes.
