Synopsis: Three boys committed murder. After discovering their haunting faces and disturbing stories in a banned prison documentary from 1984, the film finds them today as adults.
Review: The three stories are shown alternating in a nice cut. I find impressive that not only the criminals but also their family speak so open about the events and about the family context. And all these family backgrounds are distorted and moving. Actually I was suprised that they dare to tell these things in front of a camera. None of them has been really integrated in the society. All of them regret deeply their acts and can barely speak about it. The question set by the movie is neither whether they are guilty or not, nor whether they paid their fault or not. But the result is at least that cutting young people from the society at a young age without making any effort (neither family nor society) to reintegrate them is very destructive for these lives.  The director explained in the discussion after the movie that the confidence has been created with the time, long time spent together with each of the interviewed, the interest shown by the director for their stories and the possibility for them to stop as soon as they wanted to.
Rating: 7 /10
