Unit 25 is an observational documentary which follows the process of Simon Pedro's adaptation and indoctrination to the religious regime which is tried to be imposed upon him as a kind of transaction. Simón Pedro, an 18-year old inmate, is transferred to Unit 25, the only prison-church. Unlike any other Argentine prison, there are no murders or rapes here and everything is clean. Nevertheless, in order to enjoy these benefits, the two hundred and fifty inmates are forced to convert to Evangelism through an intensive and extenuating religious indoctrination.

During his 18 years in Folsom Prison, street-gang leader Santana rules over all the drug-and-murder activities behind bars. Upon his release, Santana goes back to his old neighborhood, intending to lead a peaceful, crime-free life. But his old gang buddies force him back into his old habits.

During the last years of Pinochet's military regime, a group of militants from the "Manuel Rodríguez Patriotic Front" plan a prison break of political prisoners, through a tunnel that will take them 18 months to dig.
