Short description
Sentenced to six years in prison, Malik El Djebena is alone in the world and can neither read nor write. On his arrival at the prison, he seems younger and more brittle than the others detained there. At once he falls under the sway of a group of Corsicans who enforce their rule in the prison. As the 'missions' go by, he toughens himself and wins the confidence of the Corsican group.
What's left behind the scenes
- To enhance authenticity, Jacques Audiard hired former prisoners as consultants and extras.
- Director Jacques Audiard and actor Tahar Rahim met while riding in the same car from a film set.
- Shortly before starting work on this film, director Jacques Audiard showed one of his films to prisoners in a French prison. The atmosphere impressed him so much that he decided to shoot his next film specifically about prison.
