12 characters. 12 truths. The story of 12 jurors discussing a verdict to pass on an 18 year old Chechen boy whether he is guilty of 1st degree murder of his step-father — an officer of the Russian army. The film thinks aloud about today;s life, about the need to hear the next of kin and help that person before its too late. The action of the picture unveils in one room — a gym adjusted for jury deliberations.
