Yesterday I finished reading Mustafa Khalifa's "The Shell" / القوقعة. The name or exact location of the prison is never mentioned, it's merely called "the prison of the desert" and all I could think of is how much the descriptions matched with the scenes reenacted in this movie. Turns out Mustafa Khalifa actually based the novel on Tadmor prison, where he was imprisoned himself.

Que des redemption arcs pour des hommes misogynes. Par contre les dessins étaient magnifiques
