Condenado a seis años de prisión, Malik El Djebena no puede leer ni escribir. Llegado a la carcel totalmente solo, parece más joven y frágil que los demás convictos. Cosa que Malik prueba incorrecta.

Winner of the Grand Prize at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, A Prophet is one of Jacques Audiard’s most riveting films. Brutally honest in its depiction of daily life in prison, which is rife with politics and institutional corruption, the film chills us with its stark realism and social urgency.
