Britain's prisons hold around 80,000 men, and this film follows the women left outside them, raising kids, paying bills, and organizing their lives around visiting hours. Carmen, 29, is raising 12-year-old Olivia and 8-year-old Brody while her partner serves his fourth prison sentence. She talks about what to tell the children, how to keep a relationship going through glass and guards, and what it means that he is, in her words, good when he is around but rarely around enough. The film sits with several women in similar situations, tracking the practical grind of single parenting on a partner's income that has stopped, the logistics of prison visits, and the social stigma that comes with the label. Interviews carry the film rather than narration, letting the women describe their own routines and reasoning in their own words. It is a small, close look at an overlooked side effect of a strained prison system: the households still standing outside the walls.
