Reas
Lola Arias Argentina, Switzerland, Germany 2024 82 min.
In this surprising blend between musical and documentary, a diverse cast of (former) convicts re-enact important moments from their time in prison. In an empty prison in Buenos Aires, they relive their real lives as fiction and, through fantasy and imagination, invent a possible future for themselves.

Yoseli has a tattoo of the Eiffel Tower on her back and has always wanted to travel, but she was arrested at the airport for drug trafficking. Nacho is a trans man who was arrested for scamming and started a rock band in prison. Gentle or rough, blonde or shaven, cis or trans, long-term inmates or newly admitted: in this hybrid musical, they all reenact their lives in a Buenos Aires prison. Reas is a collective work that surprisingly connects documentary and musical.
