Young Malik (played by Tahar Rahim) is sentenced to six years in prison for participating in criminal activities. In prison, he quickly catches the attention of Corsican gang leader Luciani (played by Niels Arestrup) due to his half-Arab heritage. Luciani forces Malik to assassinate an Arab inmate, which he successfully accomplishes, gaining the protection of Luciani's gang during his imprisonment. A year later, as some Corsican inmates are transferred out, Luciani's power diminishes. Malik, who has learned Corsican, becomes useful to Luciani, while also continuing his education in the prison school. Soon, Malik is given the opportunity to work outside during the day, and using connections made in prison, he ventures into the marijuana business, making substantial profits and gradually freeing himself from Luciani's control to establish his own operation... This film won the Jury Prize at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.
