Septembers

Summary: Each September singing contests are held in Spanish prisons. All the participants carefully select a song which they dedicate to their loved ones – wives, girlfriends, friends or children – before performing. Those who triumph in the first round represent their jail in the final of the song festival. Carles Bosch's film is a story about love, desire and hope behind village walls. He follows the stories of selected participants during one whole year between festivals. From one September to the next he records how four men and four women deal with separation from their nearest and dearest. Norma, a two–time singing contest winner, is serving a sentence for drug smuggling. She has not seen her daughter for three years; on the telephone she lies that she is too busy to come home for Christmas. Others featured in the film, such as Estefania and Cristian, have found in prison what they failed to find on the outside. She is a former thief addicted to cocaine; he is an Ecuadorian convicted of attempted murder. Their story proves that even in the inhospitable surroundings of a prison cell a person can find love and happiness.
