Francis was imprisoned in a Nazi prison. Like other inmates, Francis might go out and never come back. Francis made a prison escape plan, and he recorded all his preparations and plans.

In a small confined space, Francis first unfastened his handcuffs. He contacted inmates walking outside, got a gadget and unlocked the handcuffs. Using the jailer inadvertently, he left a steel spoon and knocked open the wooden board of the door little by little, and then "recovered" every time it was fixed.

Francis combined the steel wire on the bed with the quilt and sheets to make a strong rope. Then I was looking for my own partners, looking around, and the inmates gave up one by one. Until one evening, a new cellmate appeared in his room, a small child.

Prior to this, Francis carefully observed the prison's shift time and specific location, and worked out an escape schedule and plan. Before being taken to the execution ground, Francis successfully realized his escape plan with his new inmates. Francis is free.

Panyuanzi's nutritious vegetarian film brings minimalist aesthetics to the extreme, but it is full of thinking and self-restraint, so Bresson can always push the film to a pure artistic high point.

  • Le lieutenant Fontaine: [Narrating, after giving his word to the prison warden that he would not try to escape again] Who were we kidding? He certainly did not believe me. As for myself, I was determined to escape at the first opportunity.

  • Le lieutenant Fontaine: [Narrating, as he and other prisoners go back to their cells after a short break outside] Time to empty our slop pails and run a little water over our faces, then back to our cells for the entire day. With nothing to do, no news and in terrible solitude, we were 100 unfortunates awaiting our fate. I had no illusions about my own. If I could only escape, run away...
