A captivating drama about the judge Jessica, who is forced to confront the biggest dilemma of her life: What do you do when your own son is possibly involved in a crime of the type you are judging in court? “Inter alia” is Latin and means “among other things”. In a legal context, the term is used when listing several things – as an emphasis that nothing stands alone, but is always part of a larger whole. At the same time, the title functions as a metaphor for Jessica’s existence: Her life as a woman, judge and mother, where the roles constantly intertwine, collide and mutually influence her choices.
