Synopsis

Built around an interrogator's questions and the testimony of a suspect and 26 witnesses — one per letter of the alphabet — Rooksporen leaves its audience to piece together an event the film itself never shows directly. Whether a crime actually took place, and who the suspect really is, emerges from the tangled web of contradictions spun by everyone involved.
