Synopsis

A young woman works as a prison guard in an overcrowded jail in central Madagascar. She often daydreams about her father, a murderer who abandoned her after killing his brother. In her imagination, he becomes a mythical figure, wandering the countryside and rolling enchanted dice to decide the fates of his victims. When a new inmate claims to know her father, her fantasies shatter, forcing her to confront her past and the legacy of violence that haunts her life.
