SectionENFF KICK-OFF: MEET THE TEAM AND WATCH A GREAT FILM

A touching humanistic look towards “forgotten” people.

The film is introduced by our team member and Social Media manager Mariana Hristova. Dutch Premiere.

Synopsis

Filmed in the Women’s Correctional Prison and in the Psychiatric Hospital of North Macedonia, this striking documentary reaches the people inside and gives them a voice, despite the fact that entering these institutions is totally forbidden for “outsiders”. The seemingly casual conversations between filmmakers and the “imprisoned” result in highly realistic portraits and intuitively tackle eternal questions such as inner freedom and moral responsibility.
