Animol

Behind the walls of a young offender institution, Troy (Tut Nyuot) is thrust into a brutal world of gangs, loyalty and violence. From the moment he arrives, he is tested. Paired with a volatile cellmate, Troy is forced to deal with daily threats and power struggles. An unspoken bond with a fellow inmate offers solace in the oppressive environment, but their growing connection becomes a dangerous vulnerability. As Troy’s welfare officer Claypole tries to reconnect him with his estranged mother, Troy is increasingly caught up in the institution’s brutal hierarchy and is eventually forced to make impossible choices. And when violence erupts, Troy finds himself isolated and confronting his deepest fears. In this unforgiving world, where survival means betrayal and trust can be weaponised, Troy must navigate a path between the person he once was and the one he is in danger of becoming.
