Synopsis

In the prison on the island of Nisida in Naples, 40 adolescents aged between 14 and 21 lives. Enzo, Rosario and Samir, confronted by prison life, invite us to share their daily routine of school and work, boredom and captivity. They also recount their stories and share with us their moments of hope and disappointment. If the objective of their punishment is, as stated in the Constitution, re-education, the film questions the compatibility between learning and imprisonment.
