This film is the passion of a young man who lives through a terrible calvary in prison. It is the denunciation of an environment and a prison system which partly destroyed this man. It is also a meticulous and realistic inquiry into the last months in the life of a drug addict. At the same time it is a respectful, open and sometimes tender look at a closed situation, at characters who are never stereotyped.
