Theres not many movies (if any) about fate of senteced mothers. But here it is patiently showing sad and boring routine of the prison life, heartbreak of separation from your newborn and fear of losing your child after three years. In the meantime we see a gurad much more similiar to the prisoners than it seems. She spends most of her time in the prison and thirves there but has a hard time building realtionships in the outside world. Seemingly rude and strict she turns out to be compassionate observer.
Overall it is difficult story about motherhood (in many aspects of this word) in the world of absurd and hardships.
Its a rather lenghty and static movie, showing everything (including childbirth but also not interesting details) without any emabarrassment. So i guess it not going to be everybody's favourite.
