Every September, Soto del Real prison in Madrid holds its Song Festival. The contestants are inmates from different prisons, and they are the protagonists of this film. The festival is only the starting point; from there, four men and four women return to their prison routine and let us into their lives and the intimacy of their love relationships. Love, or its absence, serves as a common language through which the viewer can understand the world of prison from an angle familiar to us all. Over the course of a year, that is, from September to September and from one festival to the next, the film portrays their love stories, how they develop and how they fall apart.
