Plot

Alma, alone in her big townhouse, and Mina, a single mother from a housing project in another city, have organized their lives around the prison visits they make to their respective partners. When the two women meet in the room outside the visiting area, an unlikely friendship begins...

Sinekatalog’s take

Two women, strangers from different social worlds, find their lives organized around the ritual of visiting imprisoned partners. Patricia Mazuy builds a quiet study of waiting, loyalty and class, and the bond between them carries the film. Slow, restrained and rewarding for patient viewers of French dramas.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
