CGiii Comment
Trapero doesn't scrimp on the realism - he lays it on thick.
A thoroughly plausible story - acted perfectly.
Exceptional film-making on all levels.

The(ir) Blurb...
Julia, a 25 year-old university student, two weeks pregnant, with no criminal record, is sent to prison. Julia murdered the father of her child. This story addresses maternity, jail and Justice; confinement, guilt and solitude; but above all it deals with Julia and her son, Tomas, born inside an Argentinean prison.
