La Civil follows a mother who fights to hold perpetrators accountable after her daughter is brutally assaulted, exposing the failures of a hostile justice system. As she navigates police indifference, courtroom delays, and political pressure, the film renders a raw, intimate portrait of gender-based violence, resilience, and the high cost of seeking justice within a system that often protects impunity. Teodora Ana Mihai directs with restrained realism, blending personal intensity and social critique.
