A young accountant who is incarcerated and awaiting trial for embezzlement faces a possible penalty of between 10 and 20 years, a punishment disproportionate to the amount of his crime. But this is 1977 and, they are other times. And in the Modelo prison, the law of the strongest prevails. Despite having everything against him to obtain a pardon, the young man does not give up and joins a group of common prisoners who are organizing to demand an amnesty. If things are changing outside, they will also have to change inside. It is the germ of COPEL, the Coordinator of Prisoners in Struggle.
