《声音》一扇敞开的门,一双蓝色的网球鞋,消毒剂的刺鼻气味——房间里,一个名叫安吉拉的女孩儿被捅20刀而死。

An open door, a pair of blue tennis shoes, the pungent smell of disinfectant - the room where a girl named Angela had been stabbed 20 times to death.
Michaela works as a journalist for a private radio station and is producing an investigative program on violence against women. When she discovers that the victim lives in the same building as her, she begins a private, personal investigation into the murder.
As the investigation progressed, people familiar with the victim gave their version of Angela, but each voice was different and confusing. More worryingly, why are so many women raped and killed? Why do they always volunteer to open the door for their attackers? Why are they afraid to name their abusers? Only in the end will these questions be answered...
