Argentine Simón Pedro stabbed a man and has been sentenced to prison. What make his case unusual is that Simón has a choice in where he serves his time. His family convinces him to choose Unit 25, a facility that requires inmates to embrace Christianity in exchange for relief from the customary prison horrors. While first resisting Unit 25’s evangelical demands and structure, Simón appears eventually to succumb and willingly participate in the astonishing rituals of this community of faith behind bars. Directed by Alejo Hoijman, Unit 25 brings an original perspective to an oft-explored cinematic subject—prison life—as it delves into the realm of devout inmates, where the worlds of religion and incarceration are at times paradoxical and at other times parallel.  TM
