A microscopic examination of a criminal act through multiple prisms, including the victims'. Then, almost as an afterthought, similar acts are described with less and less detail, 'zooming-out' and showing how a one-sentence summary of a crime often can be accurate and – at the same time – a colossal oversimplification. Masterful.
