Melissa is a 32-year-old, exemplary and experienced prison guard, who moves to the French island of Corsica with her husband and two children. But under the hot southern sun on this beautiful island, there will be no holiday for the family. Melissa is transferred to a Corsican prison, and the film mostly takes place inside the brutal prison where she receives help and protection from the inmate Saveriu. After his release, he contacts Melissa and expects something in return. This thriller is both a prison film, a depiction of Corsican society, and a portrait of a steadfast woman. It deals with moral debt, the dignity, and the honor you find among the bandits. (The Norwegian International Film Festival)
