Synopsis

Rune arrives at Denmark’s toughest prison, a parallel world filled with rules, honor and debt. Here, he is reduced to a number, a letter, just another inmate in a world in which bars cover the windows and blood stains the floor. Here he must fight for survival. The directors were inspired by Horsens prison in Denmark which was recently shut down. A thriller drama penetrating into the physiology and the raw violence of prison.
