SYNOPSIS
Yves has spent twenty years behind the closed doors of prison. Over time, his mind has become filled with Hollywood fiction. After serving more than two-thirds of his sentence, he is exceptionally allowed to leave the stress of his cell to visit his mother. During this temporary 'exit', where the harsh side of reality reveals itself multiple times, Yves is accompanied by a priest with whom he seems to share more than one might initially suspect... Note: This story about human connection has been created and filmed within the walls of Oudenaarde prison. Both the story and the replica car for this fictional roadtrip were created by prisoners, and during filming prisoners and other enthusiasts joined forces, coached and directed by Charlotte Zweers and Tom Dupont. Together we managed to turn prison temporarily into a film studio, as a part of Toms social-cultural research project. We faced many difficulties during filming in these circumstances but together we persevered and a special roadmovie was born...
