Il diciannovenne Malik El Djebena sconta sei anni di reclusione in carcere. Analfabeta, apparentemente fragile, in carcere diventa un'altra persona: impara a leggere e a scrivere, ma soprattutto attira l'attenzione di un boss mafioso còrso che lo inizia alla criminalità. Costretto alla losca collaborazione, Malik elabora un piano per sottrarsi alle regole del gioco.

A Prophet (2009)
155 min
Sentenced to six years in prison, Malik El Djebena is alone in the world and can neither read nor write. On his arrival at the prison, he seems younger and more brittle than the others detained there. At once he falls under the sway of a group of Corsicans who enforce their rule in the prison. As the 'missions' go by, he toughens himself and wins the confidence of the Corsican group.
