other title: 走投无路 / La Tête contre les murs …
François Gérane alterne internements et incarcérations, entrecoupés de quelques escapades furtives. Asile, puis prison, puis asile, asile et asile encore - ou, Hôpital psychiatrique, comme on veut bien aimablement le nommer désormais dans les années 1930. Des enfermements en acte donc, mais aussi psychologiques. Le héros a beau fuir à travers champs, il demeure captif de lui-même : « Les murs sont avant tout tes murs. Ils peuvent reculer devant tes pas, mais ta liberté même reste une enceinte si tu ne sors pas de toi-même », lui souffle la bouche rouillée des serrures de sa chambre de détention. La Tête contre les murs n'est autre que la banale histoire d'un infirme de la liberté.

Unfortunately, not only does Fernand have to put up with the thoroughly modern Patricia and her nauseating boyfriend, but he also had to contend with the Mexican’s trigger-happy former employees, who are determined to make a claim.
