Madrid’s Soto del Real Prison celebrates the Song Festival every September. The participants are inmates from various prisons. They are the protagonists of the film. The festival is simply a point of departure. From there, these four men and four women return to their daily routines in prison and allow us to enter into their lives and the intimacy of their relationships. Love, or its absence, serves as the common language to enable the viewer to understand the world of the penitentiary from a perspective we can all relate to. Spanning a year – from September to September, between one festival and the next, the film portrays their love stories – developing or falling apart.
