Prisoner. A man on the border of two lives
While working in Uruguay's biggest penitentiary construction, Miguel leads a double life between two families and struggles to find the courage to disclose the truth to his loved ones.
In a close approximation, the camera follows the protagonist through the Uruguayan and Brazilian territories and constructs the metaphor of an internal prison built inside a character persecuted by his guilt.
