The Wall

Directed by Serge Roullet

With Michel del Castillo, Denis Mahaffey, Matthieu Klossowski, Anna Pacheco and René Darmon

Prisoners await execution by firing squad when they are captured during the Spanish Civil War in this drama taken from the novella by Jean-Paul Sarte. Pablo is a loyalist jailed after he searches for his brother. An Irish mercenary and a Belgian physician are his cellmates. Flashbacks recall their lives before the war as they spend their last moments on Earth waiting for their date with death.
