“What does a law-abiding man have to do to get put in jail?!”

DramaThriller

A young man becomes convinced that the solution to all his problems is to live in jail, and he will do whatever it takes to get it.

VIBE

This film offers a darkly comedic, unsettling, and absurdist experience. It's a slow-burn psychological thriller, steeped in kafkaesque dread and social satire, exploring desperation and the allure of unconventional confinement. A thought-provoking watch for those who appreciate bleak, intelligent cinema.
