In a cold interrogation room, Léon and his friend Marc are handcuffed in front of a mysterious Adrien, the embodiment of cold and corrupt justice. Between incisive dialogues on power and the beauty of justice, the tension rises until it explodes into violence: a murder, a brutal confrontation, and the revelation that Léon is not just a prisoner, but the catalyst for a silent revolt rumbling outside. A struggle for justice, the illusion of power, and survival, where the line between victim and fighter is blurred.

Melvin Martinez

biography

I am a filmmaker whose vision has been shaped by music videos and contemporary visual culture. My interest in cinema stems from a desire to explore powerful themes, such as justice, without resorting to words, but solely through images and staging.
