background

An experience from the private environment motivated the producer Ivo-Alexander Beck to make this film. For this reason, the aspect that the social environment does not recognize the signs also plays an important role. The disobedient tells of an initially harmonious, more and more changing relationship that leads to abuse. Cool and retrospectively, the plot is assembled around the central court hearing, the aim of which is to convict the murdered man's wife. A decision must be made whether it is manslaughter or self-defense. On the trail of the course of the crime, the whole field of the marital alliance opens up to the viewer, both the harmony at the beginning, as well as the irritation of the change and the horror of the exercise of violence . Although abuse is not shown directly, the viewer is at the center of the action. It was important to the producer to show that a strong, independent woman becomes a victim through domestic violence , of which she is ashamed. As a result, isolated, it loses its self-worth and slips into an incompetence for any action. Your mental state is crying out for release.
