A mother takes her son to visit his father before leaving on vacation. Again, this year, the man
won’t be with his family and the child wants to show him his report card. The visiting procedure is
always the same; the heavy doors close, the guards’ look is severe, the hallways are endless, the
rooms are desolate. The mother waits while the child meets his father. The atmosphere is full of
tension and the encounter is very emotional.
