Drama
The story of two radically different men thrown together in a Latin American prison cell. One is Valentin, a journalist being tortured for his political beliefs. The other is Molina, a gay window-dresser who fills their lonely nights by spinning romantic fantasies drawn from memories of old movies.
VIBE
A suffocating, yet strangely intimate, prison drama. It feels like a whispered confession in the dark, exploring the power of imagination and human resilience against overwhelming odds. A slow, deliberate descent into shared vulnerability.
