Synopsis
Dans le couloir de la mort d'une prison désaffectée, William Lamers, le dernier détenu, attend l'issue de sa condamnation au poison pour homicides. La loi lui accorde une dernière déclaration mais ne précise aucune limite de durée. Lamers va alors, tel Shéhérazade dans Les Mille et Une Nuits, saisir ce vide juridique en entamant un long monologue afin de retarder son exécution. Alors qu'une campagne électorale est lancée, le sort de William Lamers devient un enjeu politique et médiatique.Actors
