Our take

Inmates bond over a sick newborn and form a choir. Expect prison fights, gambling talk, profanity, mild romance references and tearful medical grief. The tone is sentimental and musical rather than graphic, though prison violence and adult themes suit teens more than children.

Uplifting themes

Redemption, solidarity and music as hope anchor the story Inmates model care for a child despite flawed pasts

Story (may spoil tone)

Inside a women's prison, four inmates form an unlikely bond with a newborn baby girl and create a choir to give her one final beautiful memory after she is diagnosed with an eye disease.
