A jail for juvenile offenders in Mexico. Thomas Heise films carefully and precisely, in a wonderful black and white, the power structures of the place. He shows, almost in a foucaultian way, the power beneath and above it. Heise’s stark humanism does not flinch in front of the everyday ordeal of the inmates. A powerful observational film that creates visual movements of musical preciseness.
