Since the pandemic, elderly inmates in need of care have been housed in a separate wing at Merksplas Prison. Hidden away behind high walls, this forgotten group has very specific needs that a prison is unable to meet adequately. Director Stijn Geenen – who previously worked as a researcher on films such as Rebel by Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah and numerous TV programmes – sets out to investigate this forgotten group and the carers who, with far too limited resources, try to alleviate the worst of their suffering.
