A FEW HOURS OF ESCAPE

A film by Charlotte Marie

DOCUMENTARY / 52' / FRANCE 3 / 2023

Synopsis

In prison parlors, there are men and women who, under normal circumstances, would have nothing to do there. These people are “prison visitors”: voluntary workers who, every week, give a little of their time and human warmth to isolated inmates. Visit after visit, meeting after meeting, bonds begin to develop — a parenthesis in the usual atmosphere of prison life that offers inmates the chance of being treated like human beings.
