... another interrogation of Victor takes place and in it you find out how this tragedy ...ends? No, it just goes on and on endlessly and in many parts of the world. It is definitely not a nice thing to read or watch, but torture has never been entertaining and I read many stories from real life about torture that are much more terroristic than this one.
