What Is Hours of Light About?

The premise of Hours of Light without spoilers.

In September 1987, Juan José Garfia kills three police officers in a shootout and is sentenced to over a hundred years. A brilliant, defiant inmate, he escapes from a police van in 1991, commits robberies and sparks prison riots. Authorities respond by placing him in a harsh solitary‑isolation cell, where he endures two years of near‑total isolation, avoiding drugs and punishment. In the cell he forms a fragile bond with Marimar, a barely‑spoken nurse, their silent understanding offering a glimmer of humanity.
