Between the walls of a prison, a man takes his time: cleaning the floor, drinking tea and telling his story. He remembers his childhood in his homeland and the sea where he grew up. Salah El Amri offers a disturbing perspective on the deprivation of freedom, through a man’s words recorded with striking temporality and chiaroscuro.
