A prisoner is found unconscious in his cell after an attempted suicide. The prison doctor is called to resuscitate the man and has to confront an ethical dilemma. The film is based on real-life events in an Oklahoma prison in 1995. This short is also a very surreal expression of a painfully realistic story.
