'J' tells the story of a man who lives an isolated life before encountering a woman that will open up, for a while, his controlled world. In 'J', time is at first an internal condition and, as the story unfolds, the effect of a mysterious mirror, where solitude is a condition of space itself and nearness and love are but a position of an impossible witness. Can space hold all the memories of a life without witnesses?

After a whole life spent in jail for being a serial bank robber and a rebel inmate, Alberto Maron is now approaching the end of his sentence. The relationship with the film director and the filmmaking process are the first opportunity to express himself freely, not hiding regrets and guilt: Alberto seems finally ready to build a human relation as a free man. Could that be the key to stop the past repeating itself?
