It is a movie about woman in a prison from 90s or early 2000s. The woman manages to become a nanny for the sheriff’s child or the prison warden’s child, or something like that. She’s playing with the child outside, in a large green field. They’re tossing a ball back and forth. She wants the child to run farther away, so she throws the ball very far. At that moment, she tries to escape—probably to a car—but the ball falls into a pond, and the child, trying to reach it, falls into the water and drowns. The woman gives up on escaping and saves the kid. She can’t swim either. They pull them out. Thanks to that, she’s released. The female protagonist was blonde (the kid was too) and had to escape from prison urgently because someone in that prison wanted to kill her. ---
