Review

A prisoner on death row feels suicidal in his cell. However, he finds a glimmer of hope from his daughter’s letter and the lawyer’s suggestion that they make use of a breach in the law. His reckless and desperate struggle begins. The director’s unique perception stands out in this film that unravels a dark and heavy topic in diverse film languages.
