Synopsis

Welcome to Chenoise Remand Center: a place meant to guarantee order and discipline… Except here, the people running the prison are also the first to bend the rules. Between a director who mothers the inmates, a deputy obsessed with authority, a guard in total freestyle mode, and a new recruit determined to prove herself, the ‘management’ of daily life relies on improvisation, shaky decisions and misguided ideas. A permanent chaos…that somehow works. But for how long?
