Timeless: Somewhere in remote Brazil, there is a place where inmates can be rehabilitated, but never escape
On land where enslaved people were once tortured and murdered, the state built a penal colony in the wilderness. A place where inmates could be rehabilitated, but never escape. Now, decades later, the prison is winding down. But in its final days, a new horror is unleashed. Every full-moon night, the inmates are released. The warden is armed with rifles. The hunt begins. Every man plans his escape, not knowing if his end will come at the hands of a familiar face, or from the dangers lurking beyond the prison walls.
Brazil’s Wilderness
This forgotten prison is built on land with a dark, traumatic history – this very land was previously a site where enslaved people were tortured and killed.
The location is cut off from the rest of the world in every which way – the colony acts as a bleak, remote and isolated setting where the inmates are entirely cut off and from which there is no escape.
The Brazilian wilderness primarily refers to the Amazon Rainforest, the Pantanal wetlands or even the Atlantic Forest.
