Lannemezan, 6,423 inhabitants, 70 kilometers from Spain. At the foot of the Pyrenees. Lannemezan, with its Péchiney factory, golf course, children's leisure park and prison. Hélène Angel's film portrays the wives, mothers, sisters and girlfriends of prison inmates, who get together for a weekend to visit their long-sentenced husbands. This documentary sheds light on the habits and daily lives of this "special population", who meet regularly in this singular hotel, "l'hôtel de la gare", run by an equally singular owner, Nadine Cistac.
