Why watch this film?
In Argentina prison slang, "rana" refers to a woman who, without necessarily being the romantic partner of a prisoner, accompanies them in an affective, psychological or even sexual way, but also contributes to smuggling drugs and other things for them. The Frogs is a documentary that portrays this life through the story of Bárbara, a young woman and mother who does this work for her boyfriend, incarcerated a few hours away from Buenos Aires. It's a documentary that neither judges nor moralizes: it portrays in an intimate way and makes visible without judgment, thus humanizing its protagonists.
