16.000 Belgian kids have a dad or mom prison. Often they often don't dare to tell their friends or classmates about this. In this documentary a 10-year-old boy gives a voice to those children who are often not heard. 

Alias is a small character that dares to ask big questions. He gets brought to life by a boy using scissors, glue, and a lot of imagination. The boy would like to tell his story, but withour revealing his identity. Because his dad did something wrong and is now in prison. That's why Alias and the boy go looking for answers together. Is dad a criminal? Is regretting your actions enough? And when is dad coming home?
