Overview

Heat, iron, dust and the smell of oil. A typical workday of maximum security inmates will prove to be fateful for all of them. They find something extraordinary inside one of the machines, and an unexpected wave of compassion makes the prisoners take hostages and block the entrance to the workshop and risk their lives, because sometimes the desire to be human is stronger than the survival instinct.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A taut prison drama where a chance discovery forces hardened inmates into a moral stand that questions what it means to remain human. The escalating tension balances philosophical weight with the raw immediacy of a hostage situation.
