A powerful, emotional portrait of life inside a women’s prison in Buenos Aires. Julia is serving a sentence for murdering her boyfriend and his lover. Whilst incarcerated she gives birth to their son, Tomas. Prison rules state that the mother and child can stay together only until Tomas reaches four years old. Unable to face the prospect of being parted from her boy, Julia has to find a way to ensure they will never be separated.
