On a sun-scorched, windswept island, a concentration camp of political prisoners awaits the visit of the “great mother”, in honor of whom they have prepared a celebration. One of the prisoners, who steadfastly refuses to renounce his beliefs, disappears and is proclaimed dead by the camp's authorities. They claim he has committed suicide. However, on the day of the official visit and during the celebration, the “dead man” reappears.

The screening is part of the programme “A Season of Classic Films” an initiative of ACE – Association des Cinémathèques Européennes with the support of the Creative Europe MEDIA programme
