Masters of Dox

In an isolated asylum fifty men live 12 months a year locked on one floor, with few contact with the outside world, even with the medical team. Each has been committed for a different reason: they have mental problems, killed people, or have upset some local officials. But once inside, they share the same empty life, walking along the same iron wire fence courtyard, looking for comfort and human warmth. Like a reality show stripped of any kind of glamour, a digital camera observes the patients while they kill time and wait for the day when they are – possibly – released, even if a release only means being able to enjoy the comfort of a slightly larger prison. Four hours in the company of people who live in sheer defiance.
