Law professor Inez Franco forms a student group to review wrongful convictions beginning with Jonathan’s story, but the narrative consistently presents race and class disparities as the defining mechanisms of injustice rather than isolated errors. This thematic centrality turns the procedural format into a platform for progressive messaging that subordinates plot momentum to ideological critique. Director Luiz Villaça and cast member Any Gabrielly have stressed racial disparities and personal experiences of prejudice as core to character motivations, with Villaça stating that injustice operates according to race and class and that 99% of such cases involve low-income, mostly Black individuals.

Student Marina, a Black woman from a poor background whose mother was unjustly imprisoned, enters the group with an agenda explicitly tied to these disparities, positioning the diverse leads and their interactions to highlight identity-linked vulnerabilities as primary drivers of conflict. The result inserts these elements as intrusive framing devices that compromise neutral storytelling and entertainment value.
