Synopsis
A study of prison life and male sexuality under these conditions. An experimental film focusing on a prison wing housing convicted murderers in solitary confinement, and specifically centring on the guard's victimisation of one prisoner. It includes images of the homosexual fantasies of the guard and prisoner, as well as more straightforward depictions of prison conditions and the prisoner's sexual misery.
