This film concerns the last working year of the old prison of Valparaiso in Chile, which closed in April 1999. It is an homage to the prison and to the men who lived there during its 150-year history. The film tells the story not through visible reality, but through the most subjective experience of seeing and feeling the prison from the inside.

Cristóbal Vicente Cruz was born in Chile in 1975. He has a degree in architecture from the Catholic University of Valparaíso, Chile. His thesis develops the concept of an architectural perspective of cinematography. Cruz studied cinematography under the established Chilean director Héctor Rios.
