Zeina Daccache’s documentary follows 45 inmates over the course of 15 months in Beirut's Roumieh Prison as she prepared with them an adaptation of Reginald Rose's famous stage play "12 Angry Men." In choosing a play that touches upon subjects like forgiveness, self-development, stigma, and hope, the film addresses these qualities in light of Lebanese culture and history.

Between monologues, songs, and dance routines created by the prisoners, the viewer sees the actual Roumieh prison, its cells, waiting areas, and visitor section. The film shows a side of prisoners not often seen: as they attend rehearsals, drama therapy, sessions, and interviews, the prisoners are humanized and shown displaying various levels and types of emotion. The film gives prisoners the chance to present their ideas and once again become individuals, something that is valuable and rare within the visual heritage of prisons in the Arab world, where prisoners are often limited to simply being victims.
