Carcereiras (2026)

At 42, Ana Paula and 25-year-old Mariana walk separate yet parallel roads as prison guards, stripped of their hometown roots and emotional connections. While Mariana chases a career-boosting transfer to kickstart her adult life, Ana Paula yearns to trade her post for the vibrant pulse of São Paulo. Inside the prison walls, grueling shifts blur the line between duty and despair, making every step toward tomorrow a heavy gamble. As Christmas approaches, emotions surge—fueled by inmates’ dreams of liberation and the officers’ own aching need to belong. When hope fades to nothing, who’s left to trust?
