Runtime:

40m

The eccentric deity The Jaguaress greets you at the velvet curtain, she is followed by her twin blue jaguars with minds of their own. She casts you as Inti, a young man who dreamed of being a drug lord but ended up in prison after his first job as a mule for la blanca. Prison X is an Andean mythological animation that sweeps you into a labyrinthine metaverse, where you coexist with devils, saints, corrupt prison guards, and even a Western filmmaker.
