France-Poland 2012 78 HDCam Color
The diary of a young Polish bank robber in solitary confinement – without privacy, visitors, or even a window – struggling against insanity. Αn exceptional look into one of the most secret places in prisons. Over a period of 78 minutes, we get to know Damian, 28 years old, condemned to ten years in jail for armed bank robbery. His frank and truthful discussion, with himself and with the camera of Janusz Mrozowski, reveals his troubled inner world, his doubts but also his sensitivity and understanding. With his tattooed arms he holds up a mirror to our society, and to ourselves.
