Love blossoms in the even the most cold and unforgiving of places in this frank and startling prison drama from German filmmaker Joerg Amndreas. When young Dennis is arrested for credit card fraud, he is soon convicted of the crime and sent to serve his sentence at a maximum-security penitentiary. As each bleak day gives way to the next and hope quickly fades, Dennis' only reprieve from the pain of incarceration is the loving glance of a handsome, muscular inmate named Mike. As Dennis and Mike struggle to find time for their sexually charged rendezvous, the all-seeing eyes of the voyeuristic prison guards bear witness to their erotic escapades, and the warden shows sympathy for romantically involved prisoners who seek solace in sharing a cell.
