Tunnel(2020)

Tunnel is a Latvian drama series inspired by the true story of a 1994 mass prison escape from Pārlielupe Prison in Jelgava. When 89 inmates vanish through a tunnel, thousands are mobilized in a desperate manhunt that spans a decade. Against this backdrop of chaos and pursuit, the series weaves together the intricate relationships between prisoners and guards, exploring the human cost of freedom. At its heart lies a forbidden romance between one of the escapees and the prison commandant's daughter—a love story that offers hope for redemption and a chance at a better life. Tunnel balances intimate character drama with the tension of an audacious crime, examining loyalty, desperation, and the possibility of second chances.
