Land of the Free

South Central, Los Angeles. After 24 years of imprisonment, Brian is looking forward to a fresh start and a clean slate in a brave new world: he wants to explore the internet, get a driver’s license, find work and maybe even a girlfriend. The charismatic 42-year-old attends meetings of a self-help group of people looking to reintegrate into society every week: 18-year-old Juan, member of a notorious gang, is out on parole, but whether he will be able to leave the drug scene and his former friends behind he does not know quite yet himself – leaving his wife and new-born daughter in a state of uncertainty. Meanwhile, Cezanne has just been released from jail and tries to regain the confidence of her son Gianni.
