In a gritty South African prison, a young man discovers his talent for storytelling and becomes the unofficial "cinema" for his fellow inmates. As he weaves tales of love, loss, and redemption, he earns their respect and becomes a symbol of hope in a place where hope seems lost. But when his best friend is forced into a dangerous relationship with the cell block's ruthless leader, the storyteller must use his gift to protect him and find a way to escape the prison's grasp.
