Synopsis: Gioza, one of the female "White Torture" prison guards, falls into an obsessive love with Nick, the prisoner under her supervision, without him knowing of her existence. When Nick is facing the prison's “final procedure”, Gioza must choose between her love to Nick and obedience to prison rules.
The “White Torture" is a type of psychological torture that includes extreme isolation, practiced on
political prisoners in totalitarian regimes. Although inspired by the idea of the “White Torture", the
events and characters depicted in this film are purely fictitious.
