Film Description
For her college thesis, film student Alicia, along with her classmate Virginia, is making a documentary about the women in the lives of prisoners at a local jail. The only problem is no one is willing to be interviewed on camera.
In comes Elsa, a desperate woman, whose son Luis, has recently been arrested for a petty crime. Elsa will grant Alicia an interview only if she visits Luis in jail. Alicia feels this is blackmail and tries to get out of it, but reluctantly agrees to Elsa's proposition. When Alicia's visits Luis in jail, her world collapses.
