Gabriel has been incarcerated for 16 years after murdering a member of a rival street gang. Anna is trying to find a new rhythm to her life after the sudden death of her son, a police officer, in the line of duty. Their experiences lead them to form radically different views of crime and punishment, yet when their paths meet under unlikely circumstances, Anna and Gabriel begin a tentative and touching relationship founded on their common humanity. Told through interweaving monologues, Alessandro Camon’s stirring TIME ALONE is a profound meditation on the effects of isolation and the flaws of our criminal justice system, asking us to engage our hearts and minds in considering how we treat society’s outsiders.
