What is it like to be picked up by the police and forced into a car without license plates, told you have committed a murder and within weeks find yourself behind bars for 20 years? This is the story of Toño, one of 11,000 prisoners at the Reclusorio Oriente, and two young lawyers, Layda and Roberto. With no background in film, the three set about recording his story with the hope of revealing a justice system that condemns many innocent young men for crimes they never committed.
