HONK!

At nightfall, on the outskirts of Salt Lake City, surrounded by her family, a grandmother will attend the execution of her husband’s murderer. In Oklahoma, a former death row inmate, exonerated after 22 years in prison, tells his amazing story. In Texas, a woman struggles against the criminal justice system for her son to survive, while he has been awaiting execution for 14 years. In Huntsville, a small provincial town in eastern Texas, the Department of Corrections performs executions by lethal injection almost as a weekly ritual. Based on the numerous absurdities of the death penalty, the film shows, through these three characters, how the death sentence generates pain, injustice, violence and inefficiency in the heart of American society.
