Etienne, an often out-of-work but endearing actor, runs a theatre workshop in a prison, where he brings together an unlikely troupe of prisoners to stage Samuel Beckett’s play Waiting for Godot. When he gets to take the colourful band of convicts on a tour outside of prison, Etienne finally has a chance to thrive. Each date is a new success and a unique bond grows between the actors and their director. But soon comes the final performance in Paris. Will their last night be the biggest hit?

The story is inspired by real events in 1985 at a high-security prison in Sweden, where inmates formed a theatre group.
