Jamal and Rey Rey

Jamal, a man born in Nigeria, ends up in court with his longtime friend Rey Rey on suspicion of bank robbery. While Jamal remains loyal to their friendship, he experiences the greatest betrayal of his life: Rey Rey does not appear in prison garb, but in a fine suit – as the key witness against him. Jamal is sentenced to life imprisonment and is broken inside by the fact that his closest confidant has snitched on him.



In prison, Jamal struggles with pain, betrayal, and the search for meaning. Years later, his girlfriend Lakisha visits him – but she is not alone. At her side is Rey Rey, of all people, who has now taken Jamal's place at Lakisha's side. As if that weren't enough, Rey Rey Junior, Rey Rey's son, also appears – and even he reveals signs of betrayal. Jamal experiences an abyss of human disappointment that shocks even the guards and fellow inmates.



But fate takes a turn when Rey Rey himself ends up behind bars – this time betrayed by his own son. While Jamal is now respected like a king in prison, he encounters his arch-enemy there once again. At his side are loyal fellow prisoners such as the giant Teebo and the clever Ali. Together they confront Rey Rey, and Jamal gets his belated revenge. Rey Rey must now experience betrayal, shame, and power imbalance himself—in a brutal but absurd twist that shows the relationship between loyalty, friendship, and betrayal in a grotesque light.



The story combines drama, black comedy, and exaggerated characters. It raises questions about trust, betrayal, and the price of loyalty—while at the same time telling a biting, almost satirical tale of everyday prison life, where power, pain, and irony go hand in hand.
