Synopsis |
Klara (32) was looking for a pen-pal and got in touch with Brett (41), who is on Death-Row in the U.S. since 1991. He`s a convicted murderer but claims to be innocent - and for years now he`s fighting to get a new and fair trial.
After a short time their pen-pal friendship turned into a love relationship. Although they can`t get close and intimate they are keeping this going for almost seven years now. And their bond is so strong that they now want to get married in prison - no matter what is going to happen...
This personal film documents the development and motivation behind this unusual relationship. It takes us along on a journey from an Austrian village to a high-security prison in the U.S. Despite all obvious obstacles this film tells a unique love story that overcomes the barriers of an inhumane and controversial system that fights prejudices and is built upon the only thing they really have and share - hope. |
