Spes contra Spem: Free Inside

DirectorAmbrogio Crespi

5.0 / 10
70 min

A documentary far from the "hierarchy of urgent things," far from the daily lives of every person. Criminals, mafiosi, authors of numerous murders accompany us on an unimaginable journey: a journey into dark souls, a journey into deep darkness through lightning shots like lightning blinding those looking at them. A political documentary which places the perspective, the sense of punishment, and his atonement through the voice of the sentenced and the prison administration. Men with a binge eating habit, a "never-ending punishment" that today is a manifestation of the institutions and who unquestionably thank those who have taken them out of their "free" lost lives. Prison policemen emerge as conscious heroes and guardians of our consciences: human and mature, state protectors. A journey into our black soul, an opaque mirror and fringed scum. The keywords that accompany you on this journey are: guilt, atonement, and hope. Hope against every hope, even where there is no reason to exist.
