Synopsis:

Sentenced to six years in prison, young man Malik El Djebena (Tahar Rahim) is alone in the world and can neither read nor write. On his arrival at the prison he falls under the sway of a Corsican mafia group, led by Luciani, who enforce their rule in the prison. Malik toughens himself and wins the confidence of the Corsican group. He follows Luciani's orders to kill prisoner Reyeb. Luciani arranges 12-hour leaves for Malik, in which Luciani sends him on missions, including murder. Malik learns how to read and write, and uses all his intelligence to discreetly develop his own network. His power grows and finally he is no longer on Luciani's side.

"This knockout punch of a thriller surpasses its trappings to speak in a universal language about the ways power corrupts the human condition." -- Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE

    Saddened to hear about the death of the great animator SATOSHI KON. His films are among our favorites, esp. PAPRIKA. http://ow.ly/2wbV3
