The Advocate is a court room tale of murder and corruption set in 15th century France, a time when an all-powerful church and a confusing legal system subjects animals to the same civil laws as human beings. When Parisian Lawyer Richard Courtois, played by Colin Firth, decides to move to the countryside he hopes to rediscover his faith in law by working for simple country folk but finds instead cases of rape, murder and witchcraft amid professional corruption and prejudice.
