POLISH TITLE: BAD BOY - CELA DLA NIEBEZPIECZNYCH

REPRESENTED BY KFF

Locked up in a high security prison for armed robbery, a 28 year-old Polish inmate refuses to let the errors of his youth become his destiny. BAD BOY high security cell offers an 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, and with his tattooed arms he holds up a mirror to our society, and to ourselves.
