My Days of Mercy

Lucy regularly travels across the USA with her sister Martha and her little brother Ben. They protest with all their might against the death penalty. The reason for their unbreakable perseverance and high level of commitment is clear: their father Simon is allegedly innocent and sits on death row. He is accused of murdering his own wife. His children stand by his side and do everything in their power to support him. During a demonstration, the opponents of the death penalty face off against its proponents, and Lucy encounters Mercy in the crowd. The two develop a strong affection for each other, but their young love is put to a tough test: can they overcome their completely different political beliefs and ultimately their opinions on the death penalty to find happiness together? Oscar and Golden Globe nominee Ellen Page and Kate Mara star in a moving and dramatic political romance with a social critique that provokes thought.
