Synopsis
Directed in Moscow, depicts the story of two prisoners sharing the same jail cell. The older prisoner, unhappy that he has to share the cell with another, abuses the younger one by stealing his wife’s picture, and eating his food ration when he is returned unconscious from an interrogation session. The younger retaliates by exposing the older man’s concealed hole on the wall where he keeps his knife and for which he is punished. The game ends when the older one replaces a love letter written by the younger’s man’s wife with a letter that says she is leaving him. The younger prisoner can not tolerate this and hangs himself in during the night.
