Two cell mates in a South American prison are wildly different men. Luis (William Hurt) is a trans individual who is found guilty of immoral behavior and Valentin (Raul Julia) is a political prisoner. To escape reality Luis invents romantic movies, while Valentin tries to keep his mind on the situation he's in. However, during the time they spend together, the two men come to understand and respect one another more than they ever knew they could. (Artificial Eye)
