Twenty videos filmed secretly in several prisons in Quito, Ecuador, over a three year period. Far from simply idealising participative mechanisms, the method used in this audiovisual project ensures that the inmates' point of view remains. Whether this point of view is mediated by learning techniques on graphics, or the inmates pose before the camera like actors, they are always fully aware of the work to be done and, at the same time, of the motivations behind this project. The clandestine nature of the camera and the non-hierarchical production process created emotional bonds that, in one case, went beyond the prison and were reproduced on the outside, affecting relatives and friends.

A poetic and penetrating look at the old slaughterhouse in Quito, and the work routine. When you go to Quito's slaughterhouse you can see the emotional detachment with which living animals are turned into meat for mass consumption. At the end of the day its a job like any other, a routine. The smell of the place is tepid and penetrating, the noise is loud, the colour red dominates. And in this place, which to the naive observer is terrifying and nauseating, hundreds of people come, including entire families, to earn a living. Couldn't so much effort, so much death, have an ulterior motive?.
