At the very end of the European Union, close to the Moldavian border, there is the prison of Botoșani. The prisoners Busliuc, Cristian and Manix spend the last days of their penalties in prison before facing the mammoth task of reintegrating into society. Poverty, rejection, solitude, but also themes like family and hope are omnipresent. They had a lot of time to reflect on life. What made me who I am? What does a human being need to be happy? Imprisoned between steel and concrete, the answers pounded themselves into their heads.
