Plot

edit

The film is about stage actor Reine who quits his job because he is tired of his boss messing people around. He takes a job at the Kumla Prison in hope that he can set up a play acted by the prisoners. The prisoners are not very interested until five of them realize that if they agree to do the play, they can escape while at a theatre. As the plot evolves, the actors are to various degrees forced to weigh this to their strengthening desire to do the play.
