In the Mud

While being taken to La Quebrada prison, Gladys Guerra "la Borges" and a group of inmates with no previous history in the prison world, experience a critical situation that will bond them forever. As survivors, from that moment on, they will face life in prison by fighting against the adversity of the prison regime and the challenge of the different "tribes" that control the daily life of the prison. Using the weapons each one brings from their personal history, discovering their own strengths and weaknesses, they will build their place in the universe of La Quebrada. En el barro narrates the transformation of this group of inmates immersed in a new reality - confinement, deprivation of liberty - and they will face the challenge of finding their own space, fighting for rights and benefits, and resisting the overpowering influence of the different "tribes" that control the daily life of the prison. Without seeking it, they will become "Las embarradas". The motivations and goals of their previous lives are replaced by daily survival, while they try to maintain connections with the outside world. Contact with family, loved ones, and unresolved matters are the only things that fuel the hope of regaining their lost freedom.
