Molina, a gay window-dresser serving time for corrupting a minor, sits alone in his dark prison cell avoiding further torment from the warden and his frighteningly faithful guards when Valentin, a Marxist revolutionary, is thrust inside the room. Although Molina nurses his fellow prisoner back to health, their relationship becomes anything but friendly: Valentin, a suspected conspirator, wants nothing to do with the "dizzy," chattering Molina. But as this tale unfolds, the cellmates come to learn the importance of friendship in this horrific world. Molina...
