Synopsis. Filmed at the former provincial jail of Málaga, it is the story of Antonio Chico García, a young and successful executive, condemned to go to prison because of white collar crimes. In order to hide this fact, he pretends he is spending time at the University of  Michigan working on a master's degree. His girlfriend Lola, (Maggie Civantos), agrees to help him by uploading pictures to a blog about his fictional life there. The film deals with his life in prison and his relationships with fellow inmates. Critical reception. Despite the omnipresence of Antonio throughout the film, some critics consider that this is really the story of Sara, (Virginia De Morata). The "Videodromo" film critic Aitziber Saldias states "...this is Sara's film, Sara's story. She catches all the attention by just moving in the background..." De Morata won best supporting actress (Premios Asecan). In  his review for "El Mundo", Cristóbal C. Monilla notes that prison is seen as a place where people are more "burdened by their internal condemnation dictated by life itself than by the physical confinement behind bars." The "Fotogramas" critic, Mirito Torreiro, considers that "its authenticy, dynamism, the humanity that comes from its actors." constitutes the film best qualities. "So much so as to [make us] forgive its faults..."
