-The Prisoner- Poster(19)

The Prisoner is short film about the pure and tender nature of humankind: “Sonny and Dub once shared a cell together. Now Sonny is a free man keeping his life as simple and carefree as possible. While Dub is on Death Row and sentenced to be executed in a matter of days, Sonny comes to visit Dub one more time. Dub has a last request – a dying request that hopes to entrust Sonny with his most precious possession.”
