A Higher Law

A Higher Law (2023) charts the moral unraveling of Ecaterina, a high school Religion teacher and the wife of a town priest, as she becomes entangled with Iuliu, a 16-year-old student haunted by his past. Her attempts to maintain order and propriety crumble as she succumbs to her own inner turmoil, blurring the lines between guidance and temptation. The film's quiet intensity lies in its unflinching portrayal of ethical decay and the slippery nature of human conviction.
