Trailer for Amnesty.
A new national law allowing conjugal visits for inmates brings together a man and woman visiting the same prison to meet their incarcerated spouses. Elsa’s dutiful contact with her husband is part of a routine that includes job searching, raising her two sons, and getting along with her father-in-law. When she meets Spetim, a quiet man who engages in equally passionless encounters with his imprisoned wife, they slowly find the sympathy and companionship missing from their lives. A prisoner amnesty, however, soon threatens their fragile bond in this closely observed, sensual, and contemplative drama highlighting a period of subtle but profound social transformation.
