Résumé

Three different love stories between the same walls, the walls of a jail. A place where the barriers are visible and where love relationships seem impossible. Deborah and her daughter wait for the end of her husband detention in a timeless situation, Fatima travels once a week from the female branch of the jail to the males one to visit her man, Agelo is in the transgender branch and fell in love with an heterosexual classmate. The separation, loneliness and institutionalization of prison life intensify the waiting, the fears, the hopes, insecurity and neediness, emotional blackmail and dependency. A long tunnel of barriers progressively narrows and eventually blocks out the horizon for a love relationship.
