A static wide view of Calipatria State Prison: a guard in the background and an inmate who moves through the desert garden and turns over the earth with a spade. While the gaze remains trapped between walls, it is the inmate’s story told from off screen that evokes ideas and images of freedom, adventure, and the American dream — expanding the horizon via memory and cinematic landscapes.
