For a couple there’s always a gardener and a garden.
In cinematic world:two broken people with fragile filter sentenced to 25 years jail time yet sticked to the story which was in their worst interest.
In judicial world: their words did not match deduction at all.
In real world: if the story about her family was partially right, his savior complex is beatiful and toxic. What if it was just a cold-blooded master manipulated and seduced the women to get the pension. Either way it’s a fantastic script and an awesome play.
