In preparation for Christmas, a local service-club holds their annual charity event. Disadvantaged households are drawn by lottery and members of the organisation then visit these families in order to deliver a financial donation. It is on such an occasion that two respectable men – Mister Chappuis and Mister Da Silva – encounter the Rapin family. On this night, however, nothing goes according to plan. Each member of the Rapin family expresses a different attitude towards accepting their generosity. Sometimes the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Filmed in the historic H-­Block Prisons of Northern Ireland, 'Prison Door' gives a Kafkaesque glimpse into the world of a young prisoner struggling with reality and illusion. Just like every other morning, a young prisoner waits for the door of his prison cell to be opened. A bird lands on his window reminding him of freedom. A prison guard opens the door, and the young prisoner has his chance to experience a form of freedom. If he doesn't leave within a few minutes, the door will be closed for the day. This will render him him one step further from the real world, one less open door for him to escape the prison of his mind. The bird watches him decide.
