In FRANK & LOUIS (WORKING TITLE), a man serving a life sentence takes an in-prison job caring for ageing and infirm prisoners suffering from memory loss diseases. What starts as a self-serving mission for parole turns into a deep emotional and transformative relationship with a fellow inmate, offering a glimmer of redemption in an otherwise unforgiving place.
