Synopsis

Inmates under Home Detention Curfew are promised instant parole through a government early-release pilot, if they can prove they’re reformed in group therapy. Strangers trade confessions like currency, bartering trauma, charm, and twisted lies. Dumb crimes spark laughter, serious crimes suck the air out of the room. Empathy and morality are mandatory, but the system isn’t testing remorse - it’s testing performance. In a surreal stage of confessions and manipulation, honesty is demanded, yet the real question lingers: who among this motley crew can convincingly fake redemption?
A darkly comic, sharply observed tale where freedom hinges on the art of deception.

Nobody's Daughters

Director: Juan Pablo Bedoya

Year: 2026

Santo is a respected religious clockmaker and moneylender in his village. He exploits families in debt by using charm and kindness. When they cannot repay him, he persuades them to send their underage daughters to work as maids to pay off the debt. Ultimately, he sexually enslaves them and throws them out on the street when they become pregnant. His latest victim is Cira, an 11-year-old blackberry picker whose mother has pawned their home and land. After Santo's death, Maria Luisa, one of his victims, with the help of Fernando, his childhood friend and lawyer, fights for justice. After a long court battle, justice has finally been served, but not for everyone. Based on a real story.
