This film shows the daily routine at a female prison under freezing conditions in Russia. These prisoners are murderers but most were defending themselves. We can see the scars. One woman said "The only thing my husband didn't hit me with was the stove". Tattoos are common as are relationships with other women. As one woman stated "Women understand everything that men cannot understand"
