In 1982, Patrice Berthelot reports on the conditions of his detention in Sion prison through a correspondence with the director Anne Theurillat, who now transforms his words—by turns cheerful or imbued with mellow bitterness—into images, through an inspired cinematic construction. A question remains: is it possible for humanity to exist between four walls?

Here are some translations about the film:

En 1982, Patrice Berthelot rend compte de ses conditions d’enfermement dans le pénitencier de Sion à travers une correspondance avec la réalisatrice Anne Theurillat. Celle-ci met aujourd’hui ses mots en images en leur donnant une résonance inattendue.
