Lettere Dal Braccio Della Morte / Letters From Death Row
Kevin Feng Ke
A small time crook inside China’s maximum security prison is assigned a dubious job of recording last wills for the death row inmates scheduled for execution. Surrounded by men who are stuck in despair, desperation and mayhem, his close encounters with many condemned criminals brings him to the abyss of humanity. Under the constant watchful eyes of the wardens, a romance manages to develop between himself and the beautiful female prisoner who co-hosts the prison radio station even though her execution is looming.
