THE DREAM #9-2380 (IK-6)

An exploration of the consciousness of a person living behind the bars. The film uses inmate’s monologues in order to show prison through the lens of the incarcerated, revealing to the viewer a hypnotizing and oneiric vision. The filmmaker avoids a gruesome or moralistic approach and focuses on the person and his most prized possessions - his dreams and reality.
