Synopsis

Orléans (France), 28 May 2011. The inmates of a prison are singing, unseen by camera or human eye. On the other side of the wall, people are listening. Carried along by the music, the faces of the listeners come for the occasion light up, conveying many possible stories to the camera. On one side, voices; on the other, faces: between the two, emotional ties begin to form.
