Synopsis

Described by the director himself as Escape from Alcatraz but the other way around, it tells the story of a man's efforts to break into prison, committing increasingly serious crimes and sowing confusion among everyone around him. Recently premiering at the San Sebastian Festival, this adaptation of Enrique Rubio's novel of the same name offers equal parts intrigue, biting satire and stellar performances.
