Public Execution

(2005)

Two childhood friends reconnect after several years, one of them is a convicted murderer sentenced to death penalty, the other one is his lawyer. There is barely nothing that can be done. Along the corridor the lawyer accompanies his client, helping him with all the procedures and rituals that precede his execution.
