Two Degrees of Murder (2016)

In the heart of Cape Town, celebrated psychologist Aleksa Cloete (Sandra Prinsloo) is renowned for her bestselling book, Love Doesn't Hurt. Yet, her understanding of love remains purely analytical despite her enduring marriage to Ben (Marius Weyers). Their son, Christiaan (Roelof Storm), often sought comfort from their devoted housekeeper, Fy Abrahams (Shaleen Surtie-Richards), becoming his 'second mother'. As Aleksa embarks on a groundbreaking reality-style documentary exploring her therapeutic work with women who mistake suffering for love, one of her patients, Tanya Basson (Hilda Cronje), steps forward as a case study. However, amidst the unfolding drama, Aleksa's world is rocked by a dual crisis — her husband, Ben, succumbs to a crippling heart attack, and Tanya confesses to a shocking crime: the murder of her boyfriend in a passionate quarrel. As Aleksa grapples with the unforeseen severity of Tanya's emotional turmoil and Ben's life-altering revelation about his future, she is compelled to reevaluate her principles. A looming question hangs in the balance: "What would love do now?" The narrative unravels as Aleksa confronts her capacity for sacrifice and the power of love, challenging her professional integrity and personal beliefs. A captivating tale of human emotion, Two Degrees of Murder explores the complexity of love and the sacrifices it demands.
