I'm still alive

In the North of Brazil, prisoners take part in a radical re-socialization process. Far from the prison cells, they attend alternative therapies like meditation, reike, Ayurvedic massage and family constellation. During the day, they review their past and their worldviews, facing their ghosts, their beloved ones and their victims, in an anxious search for reconciliation. However, at night and on weekends, they return to the toxic prison existence. While they wait for a new therapeutic facility to be built, capable of accommodating everyone full-time, another maximum security prison is inaugurated, threatening the permanence of some participants in the project.
