Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Inmates in a French prison are attempting to fulfill their sexual and emotional needs under the confines of their individual cells. Two inmates in particular, who are in adjacent cells, try to make that connection to the other, both physical and emotional, in whatever way they can. In their current attempt to do so, they are so caught up in the fulfillment they receive of that connection that they fail to notice that a voyeuristic guard has been watching them through the small peep holes in their otherwise solid cell doors. The guard was tipped to the activity by one of the two men trying to pass a bouquet of wild flowers to the other via their barred cell windows. The guard confronts one of the inmates. Although their encounter is primarily violently physical, each man copes with the situation by fantasizing about what is truly in his heart. Written by Huggo |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The end card has two cryptic abbreviations: BAADC, that may be interpreted as "Bonjour aux amis du club" (meaning, greetings to my club's friends), and MAV, for "Mort aux vaches" (French slang meaning, death to the cops). According to film researcher Jenifer Papararo, the acronym B.A.A.D.C, would mean "bonjour aux amis de calamité," which translates as a a greeting to friends of disgrace. See more » |
