The Visit(2005)
What makes a free woman choose a prisoner to develop a loving relationship? “The Visit” is a film about love in this special condition. Among the characters, some met their partners in the penitentiary; others had been visiting their husbands for decades. They feel valued by them and say they are well loved.

In this film the prison universe is almost exclusively present in the report of the women, and never from the point of view of the husbands.
