A Prophet

About

Sentenced to six years in prison, Malik El Djebena is alone in the world and can neither read nor write. On his arrival at the prison, he seems younger and more brittle than the others detained there. At once he falls under the sway of a group of Corsicans who enforce their rule in the prison. As the 'missions' go by, he toughens himself and wins the confidence of the Corsican group.

The claustrophobic hierarchy of a French prison creates a brutal training ground where an illiterate newcomer must navigate warring factions to survive. This slow-burn transformation turns a vulnerable outsider into a calculating strategist through sheer necessity.
