Ombline by Stéphane Cazes (95′)

Sentenced to three years in prison for assaulting a policeman as he was arresting her drug dealer boyfriend, Ombline discovers she is pregnant. Transferred to the maternity ward of the prison, Ombline gives birth to Little Lucas several months later. French law dictates that prisoners are only allowed to raise children born inside to the age of eighteen months but she has no one to turn to.
