We wander through a prison compound in Madagascar, through a woman’s gazes and accompanied by her thoughts. She’s a guard at this prison and believes that one day she’ll again find her father, the “dice killer,” here. When an inmate claims that he knows him, the dream images running through the film shift to the uncanny. In an intertwining of real world and imagination, Zaho Zay makes tangible the cycles of violence, criminality, and lack of opportunities as the fate of an entire society.
