Undisguised daily prison life, the rawness of the jovial and the echo of the world economy crisis. Huge prison doors shut behind the young Kent Marlowe, who comes from a bourgeois background. He is unfamiliar with the daily prison rituals, and is not prepared to sharpen his social attentiveness. He is consumed by self-pity. The prison director immediately senses the sort of problems that Kent’s character will create.
