Synopsis

The true story of Loreta Gedvilaitė, a Soviet Lithuania mob wife who sues her husband's murderer for defamation after he calls her a ‘barracuda’ on national television in 2015. The court procedurally dissects Loreta’s youth - the dangerous love affair, motherhood, status-driven excess - and rules against her.
