    • Synopsis
    • In a maximum security prison a boxer seeks his freedom and receives advice from the leader of the pavilion, a man who has been imprisoned for 30 years and is the beacon of all those inside. There is also a group of young people who dream of being millionaires and a young man who comes in for killing his stepfather.
      This universe will be put into play by this group of men in the abyss. Rancho conveys the lack of resources that turns a penitentiary into a mere holding cell for the criminal population. The idea of social reinsertion falls into a utopic land, depending almost exclusively on willpower, a fighting spirit, and each individual’s own luck.
