CrimeDrama

The convict is a simple man who finds life in prison more tolerable, when something mysterious and strange starts happening to him.

VIBE

This sprawling epic feels like a philosophical treatise disguised as a crime drama. It’s a deliberate, often bleak exploration of justice, fate, and societal decay that demands patience and rewards deep thought.
