Ten ex-penitentiary inmates are invited to attend a reception on an island. They soon learn that they have been reunited to atone for crimes for which sentences have already been served. Suddenly a storm breaks and no one can leave. At one point, the guests question the very authenticity of the context in which they find themselves. Each must look back on his past.
Inspired from the Agatha Christie novel Ten Little Indians, this work of fiction contains many documentary influences. The leading roles are played by actual ex-inmates.
Dix ex-détenus sont invités à une réception sur une île au milieu du Saint-Laurent par un ami de longue date. Rapidement, ils apprennent qu'ils ont été réunis afin d'expier un crime pour lequel ils ont déjà purgé une peine. Une tempête se lève et personne ne peut quitter les lieux. A un moment, les invités se questionnent sur l'authenticité du contexte dans lequel ils ont été invités. Chacun doit faire un retour sur son passé.
Vidéo inspiré du roman Les dix petits nègres d'Agatha Christie, La réception hors les murs est une fiction teintée d'éléments documentaires. Des ex-détenus tiennent les rôles principaux.
