An isolated high-security prison in the Californian Mojave Desert at the time of the Blue Hour. While the searchlights are gradually being lit at the prison, we can see an increasing number of lights appearing in the evening skies. The treatment of collective memories in the SHU (Security Housing Unit) reminds us of the functional mechanisms of Disney and Hollywood.
