Storyline

An attractive young woman drives through the countryside, thinking about a man, stopping to change from a tee-shirt to a sheer dress. She enters a prison as a visitor, is subject to a careful search, and is placed in a plane room with cheap, plain metal furniture. A guard brings into the room the man she's been thinking, removes his handcuffs, sits him down in a chair across from her, and hands him a towel and bar of soap. The guard leaves. She asks the prisoner what happened, and he begins an explanation. Where does this lead?

Astonishing and Memorable

This is an unusual and thought-provoking short film. A pretty young woman is at a prison, presumably to visit her husband/boyfriend/lover on a conjugal visit. We see her getting changed into a nice dress, with her fantasies of seeing her man. She goes through the indignity of a body search, is sat in a cell, and she waits.... This is an astonishing and memorable piece of film; the young woman is played by an actress called Josie Maran, and shows her love for her man, despite her own vulnerability. The prisoner/husband is played by Wentworth Miller, newly famous from TV's Prison Break, and let's just say that he shows himself in a very different light. A very well made short film from 2005, don't miss it
