Plot synopsis
The facts reported in this film are based on interviews with employees and inmates of the prison. In many aspects addressed, it is more of a documentary film.
It is the story of a boy who will soon be freed, he wants to return home, to his family, to his mother and to find a normal life. But no one, neither his mother nor any member of his family comes to get him. The administration, and the other inmates, everyone knows it, except him, the main character, who waits and believes until the last moment, that he will see his mother when he is released.
In this film, it is a question of stigmatization, maturity, acceptance of a difficult and painful truth, help, understanding and faith.
