Rigel, Batanay and Giovanni are streetwise 16 and 17 year olds, locked up in youth detention for violent robberies. Through their eyes, the documentary shows the ways in which ‘the system’ tries to change them, the sluggishness of time in detention and how they struggle through their first half year of freedom.
