Synopsis
A trip to the heart of Waseskun, a social rehabilitation institution for the native male with a criminal past. An empathic look deprived of innocence that describes without taboo the complex transformation of men battling against themselves. At Waseskun, the healing process involves a spiritual element and the regaining of the identity and of the ancestral culture. A sensitive chronicle about social and family hell survivors who made the difficult decision to fight and reintegrate into civil society.
