Trial, The

The marriage of lawyer Julian (Richard Gomez) and developmental psychologist Amanda (Gretchen Barretto) is already crumbling. Aggravated by the tragic death of their only son, their relationship now is beyond any chance of mending. That chance came when one day Julian and Amanda encounter a curious case. Ronald (John Lloyd Cruz), a person with intellectual disability, is accused of raping the niece of a renowned university head, Bessy (Jessy Mendiola). The already curious case becomes more intriguing when they learn that Ronald was their son’s best buddy. Amanda is hired by Bessy’s camp to look into Ronald to prove his lucidity and intention – hence, implicating him of the crime. However, as she tries to get to know him, the truth about Ronald and his relationship with Bessy & her deceased son all unfold before her. Believing that Ronald could have not committed the crime, she withdraws from Bessy’s camp and decides to help him. Working together, Julian and Amanda exert every possible effort to acquit Ronald of the crime. Little do they know that his case would mean facing the truth about their broken family – something they have forever lied to themselves about.
