Every month, women go to a prison on the outskirts of Paris to visit their loved ones: sons, fathers, brothers or partners. In the middle of August, Fatma and her daughter Nora, Judith and Lola, Hourla, her friends and others wait uncomfortably in the sweltering summer heat. Shy or extrovert, accomplices or enemies, they must all pass through the many stages that separate them from the visiting room. As they move from security check to security check, relationships are made and broken, tongues loosen, tension mounts... until finally a riot erupts behind the bars. (Dubai International Film Festival)
