Every month in Que­bec, hun­dreds of pris­on­ers are released after serv­ing their sen­tences. What hap­pens to them once they’re released? And what kind of free­dom do they find on the oth­er side of the bars?

From prison to prison doc­u­ments the jour­ney of three ex-pris­on­ers as they attempt to rein­te­grate into soci­ety. The film gives the var­i­ous offend­ers the oppor­tu­ni­ty to talk about their pre­car­i­ous dai­ly lives, uncer­tain futures and trou­bled pasts. Unvar­nished and unabashed, with­out com­pla­cen­cy or voyeurism, the film bears wit­ness to that frag­ile moment when the hope of a new begin­ning can be top­pled for bet­ter or worse.
