La Détention plot

At the French School of Prison Management, aspiring prison guards are prepared for their future careers. Through a combination of classroom instruction and practical exercises, students learn to exercise authority and manage conflicts. However, as they get closer to the reality of prison life, the gap between theory and practice becomes increasingly clear. Guillaume Massart witnesses these contradictions and raises profound questions about state control, power, and obedience.
