Synopsis
The film's subject is murder; its characters are seven men and women who committed such an act. It plunges into the people's images, memories, nightmares, and reality, as well as their attempts to escape from the borderline situation in which they live. In his own way, each one of the characters - six prison inmates, their guard and one former prisoner - encircle the irrevocable act which embodies the absurd and crushes their existence. The prison, the morgue, the museum of criminal exhibits, the courts, the police, the ruins of an old penal colony, prison cells yet to be built - they all constitute the mourning, and bear the traces of the characters of the film. The events, the intimate details are absent.
