Four children bring us to the visitors' room of a prison, where they reunite with their mom or dad twice a week. They end up in a world that isn’t built with them in mind, and a situation they never chose.

Alias is a small figure who dares to ask big questions. He is brought to life by a boy using scissors, glue and a lot of imagination. The boy wants to tell his story, but without others knowing who he is. His dad did something wrong and is in prison. Together, Alias and the boy go in search of answers. Is dad a crook? Is feeling sorry enough? And when will dad come home?

In a modern, concrete prison the walls are closing in on Ferran. Berker tries to tell his little daughter that daddy doesn't work in prison. Tom, a guard, counts the men behind metal doors and a dancer moves in the light that enters between the bars.
