Synopsis

Shot in a cinéma verité style, the film was developed during a filmic field research documentary workshop.
The film depicts glimpses from Botoșani penitentiary center, where the filmmakers start to follow Gheorghiță, a worker from the police cafeteria. He is working hard to gain the trust of the guards and to blend in with his fellow inmates. As the students get closer to him, they realise how his sense of identity becomes affected by the group dynamics, formed in a cloistered and confined space.
