Content
En Prise is a very critical intimate play. The film deals with the drug dealer Timothy Cubany (Sebastian Faust), who sees a young client dying of a crack overdose in front of him. Cubany finds himself guilty and blames himself for that, thinking he could have obviated the death of Jan Zhao (Felix Huo). He gets into a serious moral conflict and is struggling with himself, what the drugs made of him and and how his life is supposed to go on.
