Filmed inside Tihar Central Jail in Delhi - the largest prison in Southeast Asia - this documentary focuses on the lives of several inmates. In one story, a family is serving life sentences as a result of India's unique dowry laws. Their young daughter, raised in the prison, has reached the age when she must leave the jail.

This skillfully crafted film by Sunardan Walia and Yugesh Walia depicts the conflicts which arise when a family is forced to split up.
