Synopsis
What is the relationship between mothers and children who serve their term in Světlá nad Sázavou prison together? A long term observation maps the phenomenon of motherhood under the prison conditions. What kind of behaviour are the women likely to take on from their mothers? Are they aware of the things their moms would like to set straight? Could motherhood be motivating enough for them to leave the criminal path? What is it like for the kids to be in prison? The film shows not only the ordinary days in prison, but also some of the original families of the portrayed inmates.
