La Taule (2000)
Film Synopsis
Under the cover of darkness, two men put into operation a meticulously planned escape from their prison. To the surprise of the prison staff, one of the men ends up back in his cell. The man is interrogated by the head warder and the prison governor, but he refuses to say a word about the breakout. In fact, he hasn't spoken at all throughout the entire time he has been incarcerated. This incident coincides with the arrival of a new prisoner, a man who insists he has been wrongly convicted. His anger adds to the growing mood of rebellion that is sweeping the prison. After committing a series of disturbances, the prisoners are punished by not being allowed to watch a football match final. This merely fuels the simmering resentment...© James Travers
