L'Addition (1984)
Film Synopsis
When Bruno, a young actor, comes to the defence of Patty, an attractive girl who has just stolen a pot of caviar from a supermarket, he could not have known where it would lead. Detained in custody for just a few days, he manages to get himself mixed up in a prison escape, in the course of which a warden, Lorca, is injured. On Lorca's evidence, Bruno is imprisoned for a further two years, his sentence to be served in a far rougher kind of penal establishment. Here he finds himself at the tender mercies of Lorca on the one hand, and a gang of thuggish inmates led by José on the other. Lorca blames Bruno for his being transferred to this prison and intends making his life Hell as a consequence. Within no time, the two men are locked in a bitter psychological war, each hoping the other will crack first...© James Travers
