Synopsis

In the precariousness of prison, a group of women dream of reconnecting with their children. Together, they carefully guard a collection of objects that reconnect them with their memories, safeguarding them from danger in an interactive and virtual museum. This is a short documentary film in virtual reality (360 video + 3D space), co-created with a group of women in prison. Through virtual reality, families can send 360 video messages from their homes, granting the inmates the fleeting possibility of Going Back Home for a few seconds.
